Bully had seen that the best results came in the early morning, so the next morning saw both of us on the bank at dawn.
The pre bait seemed to have done it's job, as my swim seemed full of rolling fish. After half hour or so the rod went round and as I pulled in to the fish it became apparent that it was too heavy for a tench. Not fighting hard enough for a carp, so....
Could it be a grass carp ? As it surfaced there was no doubt and after a brief tussle my first ever "wild" grass carp was on the bank.
I left it in the net and text Bully, but before I could press "Send" a message from him popped up on the phone.
"Just had a grassie"
Weird, we'd both had one at the same time and similar size, mine going 14lb and Bully's estimated at 15 plus. Fantastic.
Job done.
