Hi there , folks , Yesterday I've been fishing a smaller old gravel pit owned by a fishing club where I have membership . Cast and worked back a homemade "Heiddy" sinking glider(in Europe we call it a jerkbait)for the third time and suddenly had a fish on , ..........after hauling back twice to set the hooks I've felt secure enough to try and capture the event on film and picked out my camera from my jacket's chest pocket . In expectation to have hooked a small pike , which is the typical target species for glidebaits over here(well , not only small ones ) , I was pretty much surprised to see a nice zander(close relative of your American walleye) surface and suddenly became very anxious that I might still loose it in the end , ........I did not even know , that this species was stocked in that pond , and usually they hardly take such kinda lures as well . But everything went on fine and I was able to land that well fed fish of 27" length , ......good average size but big for that pond , I suppose . This catch was the only one for that session yesterday , but it surely made my day ! But such attempts filming fighting fish after having hooked them could also go terribly wrong , as I've experienced a few months ago : But this time it worked out , ......here is another picture of the zander and lure ! greetz , diemai
