The angler boasted the “fish of life”. He revealed where he found a record specimen
A lucky angler from Southampton shared a photo of a huge barbell on the network, which he caught in the ITCHEN River in Southern England. He also revealed what helped him in a record half.
43-year-old Lee Edmond-Hiett on Sunday, August 31, went to fish on the Itchen River, which falls into the La Manche channel. To his amazement, he caught the baby, weighing nearly 7.5 kg. As he revealed without major resistance, he helped him cheese-chosite lure.
The 43-year-old caught a great barb. He described his impressions
– I was stunned, to be honest. I was shaking like an aspen – a happy angler commented. – It was such a great fight. A pound after a pound, these are one of the hardest fighting freshwater fish – he emphasized. “I’m in the seventh heaven, it’s great,” said the 43-year-old.
Local media point out that on the day of fishing, the ITCHEN River had a very low water level. Only a few places were suitable for accusing the rod. For the first few hours, Lee Edmond-Hiett tried his happiness fruitlessly. The greater his amazement was when the fish finally jerked, almost pulling his rod into the water.
A neighboring angler had to help in the fight for record prey. A completely foreign man gave a happy 43-year-old support and helped to pull the fish out of the water, which barely fit into the network. – I waited for about two hours. It was the first time that something caught that day – said the Englishman. “Everything around 7 kilos is a fish of life,” he emphasized.
Over 7 km. Angling
– I’ve always wanted to catch one. I knew they were the best fighting fish in the river. It is not easy to capture – he continued in an interview with journalists. He also encouraged other anglers to try their hand at the barbell. As he noted, many people are not aware of the size that representatives of this genre achieve.
The brave can try even in the same place. Lee Edmond-Hiett, after taking photos, released his prey back into the water. As he said, he has been fishing since the age of ten and still tries to return to this hobby at least several times a month. – I’ll be honest. I don’t think he can beat this result – he summed up his latest achievement.
