Milestone bream.

When a plan comes together.

It took me 30 years to catch a 60cm fork length wild river bass – a unicorn as some call them. What is the bream equivalent?
Is 2.2kilo out of the racks the same? I say “SHIT YEAH!”
After dropping a similar (or same fish) in the same isolated racks last week – which left me gutted – I went back today and nailed this fish. Dropped another of her mates back into the pack of similar and bigger fish. Two long runs under the racks which seemed to take forever (I still have the teeth impressions in my lower lip) but managed to electric her away into open water. Today she went in the net properly and I was able to resume a normal heart rate…eventually. (no measurements but an “on scale shot” for clarity) – net shot has two 800g under the monster and a 600g straddling her tail. Lucky days…..

Quality bream dwarfed by a monster of 2.2kg

At 2.2kg, this bream represents a millstone for tournament anglers
