hi all, im new to this site and new to fishing. i started fishing about a mounth ago and went 5 times with no luck then on my birthday (27 november) i cought a fish! we had all but given up and i had to try one last time so i cast off the rock i was on, it fell about 15 foot out and bang! i had never cought a fish so it made me jump! i reeled it in and i had no idea what it was. i didnt need to unhook it it just spat it out. so i took some photos and put it back. the next day i went to the bait shop and asked what they thought it was but they didn't know so i went to the wet fish shop and he knew strait away. it was a bass! to be honest i was fishing for dogs but luck was on my side! anyway i just had to post this as my girlfiend is sick of me going on about it! good luck all! big grin

I can still remember my first fish , a gudgeon out of the river Severn at Bridgenorth some fifty to many years ago . I often wonder if my Grandad knew what he had started happy

Congrats on your first un ICAC hope its the first of many big grin
