28lb 8oz Common and how to catch a Pike without a Rod

Well it's another lovely day here in Cumbria!
The forecast is looking good for the next week too.

As usual many of our guests were loath to leave us, especially Jamie who told me about his cracking 28lb 8oz Common - the biggest we had out last week.

Another angler Paul from Rochdale had a remarkable fishy tale for us as he left too - he managed to land himself a lovely hen Pike, using only his landing net.
He was quietly minding his own business fishing from his private peg by the Cottage, when Mrs Esox decided to settle herself right beside the bank. Trying to spook her out of the swim using his landing net, the Pike got herself a bit confused and swam into the net!
