Andrius Bikelis of Go and Catch, Ireland’s Lithuanian pike angling club send in this report from one of his members…
On January 12th Go and Catch club member Nerijus Jankunas took advantage of the somewhat improved conditions to fish for pike in a favoured Co.Cavan lake. Nerijus couldn’t believe his luck when he struck into what was obviously a good fish. As the fight progressed it was clear that the pike was more than a double. The fish had to be a good 20.
His hopes were exceeded on landing and weighing the fish. She tipped the scales at 27.5lb and after a quick photograph to record the moment the pike was gently released. This fine pike was taken on a deadbait.
