Caught Monday 3rd September 2012 @ Loch Shiel, boat made an unscheduled stop at a local pier to clear a blocked bilge pump, first cast, bang, result my first ever double figure fish of a lifetime. No scales available, but estimated to be around 18lbs (member of the party fishes loch Shiel regularly and has taken ferox to 15lbs, and this was much bigger). Took around 25 mins to land, and was safely returned to the water to fight another day!
Several others witnessed the first being caught, landed and returned!
Several notable firsts that day, first trip to Loch Shiel, First Fishing Trip this season, First Double Figure fish & landed on First Cast!
