DUMBELL SELLFISH = KOI

On Tuesday, 18 april 2017
This part of fishing was a bit special for me, because Anthony manages to convince me to fish in a pond where I have never fished.
So for me, it was a great first, because having never sinned in stalking, I thought that the fishing part was going to be complicated.
We decide to fish in Chod Rig off 1-2 cm, and it's gone for a sunny afternoon.
Immediately we spot the nugget, impossible to miss it with its reflections and the sun.
We are joined by our friend Voignier Pierre who came to visit us.
We try a lot of post but nothing does, it strolls, but do not eat, do not dig, no activity on the part of other carp either,
The late afternoon begins to arrive and I start to lose a little hope.
I decide to repackage and join Antho to greet him and leave, but at that moment everything tilts, the activity on the water sets off again, and we see her feeding.
This is the time to enjoy. Like a lioness lined up in the savannah watching its prey, we are of a discretion to any test.
Here she comes closer to our assemblies but every time she passes to the nearest, she freezes and disappears in a flash.
I find that every time she comes back to the same place, searches the bottom and leaves. I decide to take advantage of it, I change bait and take a newish selfish and put my montage where it used to spend 1 hour.
But it does not go as planned, a fowl scares her and she disappears.
We seek it, without success, and it is at this moment that the miracle is accomplished.
She pulls her head out of the water with such violence, I do not understand what's going on, and then I hear Antho say that sentence that still resonates in my head ... "t'a la KOI , You got the KOI ". Neither one nor two I rush on my cane and it is left for a nice fight of some minute that will end in the nets.
"It's not possible, I'm dreaming, what's happened. I've just grabbed a koi carp."
Adrenaline is at its peak. I still do not believe, Antho takes care to put her in safety because I do not have my whole head, I'm on a cloud.
After a small photo shoot and released in the rulers, the adrenaline fell, it took me 15 minutes to realize what had just happened.
Incredible fishing day, a huge thank you to Anthony Zambelli for this fishing part etched forever in my memory.
To the pleasure.
