Ken O’Neill, IFI Limerick, was patrolling Lough Derg at the weekend when he met some lucky pike anglers.

Michael was having a good morning but said the fishing was even better last week

Saturday morning was a cold one but that didn’t stop Michael Galda getting out on the lake. It was worth the effort as he already had caught a couple and was about to returned a 95cm pike by the time Ken caught up with him on the water.  Michael was saying to Ken that he had released two other fish earlier in the morning but that the angling last week was even better.

This pike was over the 1m mark - back she safely goes
