To be honest Alan I don't think he was interested, I asked if I could take pictures and he said ok.Well taken Keith
Did he like the shot?

Once he started chatting about fishing I thought I wasn't getting home tonight![]()
Very nice fella though.
Same happened to me once with a fisherman... He was happy enough to be snapped as he got on with it but wasn't interested in seeing the pictures. It must be what they're like![]()
Yes I nearly lost a rod that way too years ago when I fished. Sadly there's no known Barbel in that stretch although they have been caught a couple of miles upstream.As an angler myself, I suggest that he's only be interested in looking at pictures where he is holding his catch....... And taking his eye off of his ket could end up with his rod in the water (been there, done that, those Barbel are bloody strong!!)

But there are few better feelings in the world than when that rod whips around like that!

He'd had one smallish Chubb, and he moved off for a last hour at another swim as I was leaving, intending to fish the first hour of darkness.
Barbel on the Kennet were my downfall. 2 hours without a bite, so I did the unthinkable, got the flask out and boom, my rod but smacked me in the faceBut there are few better feelings in the world than when that rod whips around like that! Hell of a rush!
Thanks George, I was pleased with how it came outVery nice candid style capture Keith, great sense of concentration on the guy's face.

Pike fishing on a local backwater in winter a good few years back, and after a good while without a sniff I started unwrapping the Mars Bar. Off went the float.Barbel on the Kennet were my downfall. 2 hours without a bite, so I did the unthinkable, got the flask out and boom, my rod but smacked me in the faceIt was only about 4 or 5lbs as I remember..... Still, a Barbel is a Barbel!
He'd had one small Chubb earlier, and he was very focussed, a very experienced guy who travels around fishing various places, nice chap.I think it's really good.
I think his posture speaks of patience and anticipation and maybe a bit of wishing he'd get a nibble![]()
