Yep, I love a bit of fishing.
I started off in the canals, progressed onto pools/lakes, then weekend sessions down the Severn pulling out Barbel and Chub.
Nowadays I'm lucky to live close to the beach so I'm trying my hand at a bit of sea-fishing.
I took Mrs Grub on a night-session down the beach last November. It was bloody freezing and windy as hell so the nice bottle of Brandy we took with us went down a treat!
We must have had 4/5 joints and half a bottle of Brandy before Mrs Grubs rod was nearly ripped out of the tripod.... 30 minutes later and after lots of panicking and screaming (not just from Mrs Grub)... we finally get a glimpse of the monster thrashing about in the surf...
A 6ft long Conga!!
Another 15 minutes later on and we're still arguing about who's unhooking the pissing thing!!
I lost.
That was pretty much the 1st fish we'd caught from the sea and I hope to God I never have to 'deal' with one again!
