Fishing is huge in the UK, I do alot of fishing myself. Only freshwater, never been interested in sea fishing. Prefer to fish lakes and ponds, for the likes of carp, tench, roach, rudd etc. Biggest carp i've caught was 22lb. I used to work on a golf course many years ago as a chef, It was a live in job, so i lived above the clubhouse, when not working i was either golfing or fishing the many lakes on the course. One day i stalked the two biggest carp in the ponds, one was 22lb the other was 20lb, managed to catch them both on the same session, was totally buzzing !!!
