22 May 2005 I will never forget. That day I caught my first really big common bream. At my first attempt at Roegle Ponds I caught this beautiful bream, ledgering with sweetcorn. 4,560 kg it weight.
This is the same fish in both pictures. First one when the bream still isnt caught but seconds later its in my landingnet! 2,495 kg caught in July 1991
1) This bream I caught in Beauty Valley Lake in the middle of the 90:ies. The method was floatfishing with sweetcorn on a number 10 hook. This bream pull the scale to 3,025 kg
2) Bream 3,005 kg from BeautyValley Lake caught Sept 9, 1990..
Not one of my biggest but a nice fish, but it´s how I caught the bream that makes it interesting. I saw this fish swimming around very slow just under the surface.
I saw it was a bream but was it possible to catch it 15 cm under the surface. I already had a float on my line so I adjust the depth and took of all shots. Then I cast out and all the time I saw this fish and it slowly came closer and closer to my worm. I didn´t looked at the float only at the worm in the clear water.And when the bream had the worm in its mouth only 2 meter from where I stand I hooked it and that was it!! It weight 5 lb, 2,500 kg.
