On the pike fishing front, Tomi Kurman from the Corrib Predator Team reported on some great fishing during May for Tomi, fellow guide Jack Gorny, and their clients. On many days they recorded landing several fish over 1m long, with many fish in low to mid-twenties in weight, but these were dwarfed by their best fish. A member of Hybrida Team Ireland- Maciej Dukacz – landed a beast of 123cm and 16.1kgs (35.5lbs)! The fish took a Hybrida J2 Jerkbait. 6 days later another one of their guests- Robert Tamer – caught the very same fish! In the space of the week she had lost some weight (due to late spawning) and on the second capture she weighed 14.55kgs (32lb).
