yes I did but it wasnt my first 50 ...................... it was my first ENGLISH 50 and one of my favourite pictures I asked my mate to stand still with the camera while I moved around trying different poses and angles and I think this shot captures the incredible width of her and I have big hands size10.5 ! sadly Tolpits Plodder is now no longer with us a TRUE English fish over 45 years old legendary fish that I had the privilege of being the 1st person to catch when she went 50 plus
((EDIT and to the soppy little ***** that thinks its my hair style its winter and I pulled my hood down thats why my hair is sticking up))

Mid 20s and for the 70s yes they were good fish
I actually caught 5 but my pal had to go to work after taking that picture and I caught 3 more all about the same size it was a manic 4 and a half hour spell and a double hook up landing 2 in the same net ! and no pictures
but it didnt matter they are memories still stored in my bonce lol

Edit apparently fish started getting names and the top one has been positively ID as a fish that later got the name Lucky

Really nice fish them Gerry 👏
One thing I note; you look to be in your 40's there, so you must be about ready for a telegram from the queen now 😂
