    Gavin - that is a beauty. I'd keep very quiet about the location, if you have any desires about going back there soon! Congratulations - it's a stunner! Dyl

    Gav, is that Pike a double?...or a treble? it looks big enough to swallow a duck! - well done!
    As for the suppression, your picture (image) suggests that the capture occurred circa 1965.

    Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure there'll be a post on this yet. Needless to say, wasn't expecting so much so soon. Or even this much at all!

    It was one of those "Nah, doesn't feel very big" moments...
