Yamo drew the cock peg by the back island, the peg which HaHa broke the then Cashmore’s match record with about 58lb two years ago.
Possibly ‘feeling the pressure’, before the off Yamo was trying to convince young Shaunie, who’d recovered from this bank holiday hangover, that his island was the cock peg and that all of Chubbs recent matches had been won of the tyre peg, rather than the tin island he was on.
Sandwiched in-between young Shaunie, fishing into open water with no feature was BDM – true to form :'(
Well the pressure was well and truelly off Yamo as from first put in he was into fish. Fish after fish, bite after bite.
after an hour and half, BDM adopted chapter 3 of Fert’s feeding regime when he dumped in 3 tins of green giant in an attempt to distract the carp that were queuing to hang themselves on Yamo’s red hollo core. It worked for all of 10 minutes when Yamo went without a bite, normally ample time to catch 1 3lb’er and lose 3 more.
Half way thru a certain disgruntled Mr Ludgate was adamant that his user name be changed given Yamos current dipping form at the draw bag.
BDM was in trouble, fish were being caught all around the pool and he’d got that COD feeling – being battered both sides - as young Shaunie also picked of some resident chub shoaling round his island.
Two thirds thru, Yamo was owning up to 75lb – the record was in the bag. All he wanted was another 25lb to break that mystical ton goal that he’s set his sights on – why the fascination with a ton of scalies I know not – give me 5lb of gudgeon any day.
The only way BDM who was sick to death of seeing Yamo’s elastic being pulled within 30 sec of every put in, was gain any pleasure from the day, made his prophetic statement – ‘you’ll do 99lb 12 oz’.
Was that 100lb plus that Yamo had lost off the hook to prove costly
An hour to go, Golden Balls had packed up and tipped his couple of bits back. The Wedge was rumoured to be catching well but HaHa was having a ballacher.
Best laff of the day – some idiot floating the pole that lost all 11 sections when a 1/2lb bit took off with the pole. Won’t let my feelings be known on this one – dare say others will have their opinion.
At last the whistle. BDM had also made the statement that if he was done off both sides, that was it, he was going back to the rivers and cuts – Chockie Monster got any places in your team? Was the few silvers he’d sneaked on caster up in the water on a 1lb bottom enough to do young Shaunie?
Time for the scales – and what a ta ta that turned out to be :o
Young Shaunie 12lb odd
BDM 14lb dead – although if HaHa had weighed his silvers a bit quicker he wouldn’t have been done by the Wedges 14lb 2oz
Yamo – well what a farce – Yamo I think is not too pleased. I’ve heard 3 weights called now……………..but the official weight the results secretary passed to me in the carpark was 99 – 3 – 0………(although 99 -12 - 0 sounds better)
Ah well – well done Yamo
There’s always another day – plenty of more fish in the sea and all that – but that record might stand for some time – cuss we’ll probably cock it up at Izaac Walton, the only place I can think that we’ve got that could challenge it – and don’t forget – we’ve got 8 rivers and 7 cuts to look forward to next year.
