Many thanks to Hampshire based Daniel Gale for this magnificent photo of his end of season Pike, which weighed in at 25lb 60z.

“In my haste to set up before dark I managed to snap my rod and had to bodge it together with electrical tape to fish, as it was the only one I had with me. Luckily it held up.

It was caught on deadbait with the E-SOX Trebles, 24lb 7 strand and a pike bob float. A great way to end the season.“
