The Dove has it for me too, although some of the other photos are really well captured images and are all still noteworthy fish. Well done to all those concerned.

If I'm wrong then sorry, but, for me - it does take something away from this capture. Winning the Lotto once should surely be enough for anyone!? Daz.

Spent my teenage years dreaming of being able to catch fish from the rivers around manchester. well done that man. It is the most exceptional fish for the reason BAF stated: a superb river regeneration story. Last Edited By: Tom R 08/02/08 22:58. Edited 2 times.
