Ben White - After an unbelievable week at Lake Bled he managed this 59lb Common  amongst others 

Blair Grant McMillan - first time fishing Luce Bay with his pal. They took a treacherous route to a spot they thought looked good. After 10/15 mins the rod started going and hooked into a fish. He didnt know what it was until I got it to the side, he knew it felt big but I wasn't expecting to catch a big Bull Huss on my first time there.

Daniel Powell - Lovley 5lb Salmon, caught on size 2 gold Savage Gear Caviar spinner. Caught on TTA Waters at Newcastle Emlyn, Wales.

Darrin Limond - 84cm 17lb Ferox was the biggest of 7 landed Loch Corrib Ireland using a trawled Roach Bait out on a charter with Tomiguidefishing

Frank Gourlay - Out on the SIB for a bit of dropshoting for Perch with his ultralight HTO Rock Rover when the rod smashed over. After a lengthy fight having to constantly remove weed ect from his line he eventually landed this amazing fish.

 Ian Lindsay - went to Camp Halibut in Soroya, north Norway hoping to catch a monstrous flattie the camp is renowned for. However something a bit more unexpected was to turn up during the halibut hunt. Ians 1.5lb coalfish dead bait was snaffled by a 27.5lb Monkfish. Ian thought he'd dropped down straight into a snag, when it came to life and gave him the battle of a lifetime.

Innes Bygate -  Caught this 4 pound Trout from a small hill loch in the north coast of scotland on a size 2 Mepps spinner he said it put up some scrap on his Shimano FX 10-30g rod. 

James Jenner - A lovely day on Loch Long near Arrochar resulted in 7 species for my partner Maggie and I, the best of which being this lovely Black Bream. Taken on a white Finesse soft plastic lure, fished on a 7g Cheb and size 1 weedless hook. A pretty rare fish for the Clyde and a very happy result on their annual trip to Scotland.



Jim Meek - with a 195lbs Skate from  Loch Linnhe caught from JOLA IV charter - a fish of a lifetime!

Lee Jones - was on Loch Lomond testing his new Westin W4 Powercast rod to see how it handled bigger lures. After putting on a Miuras Mouse & making a few casts he got into a good Pike


Lewis Kerr - Lewis age 6 was fishing at Broomhill coarse fishery. Fishing a method feeder with micro pellets and corn. His wee 5ft rod bent double when this big Common Carp made a run for it.

Liam Gunn - had been putting in effort in an attempt to try and beat my personal best wild Brown Trout, which stood at a little over 7lbs. 
He finally managed to get the monkey off by back however, as I started exploring some new areas armed with some black streamer flies. Last week, I was stripping back a streamer beside a weed bed when the water erupted, and everything tightened up.
There were one or two hairy moments as the fish began to thrash around violently, but I soon guided the fish into the waiting net, and instantly knew this was the fish of a lifetime. It was weighed in my mcleans net at 10.3lbs


Mikey Walsh - Dover Sole, an unusual species for Scotland, caught in the Solway Firth. Using a One Up One Down Rig baited with Lugworm.

Ollie Giles aged 13 with a stunning Tiger trout of 4lb. Taken on a spinner at Loch Glow in Fife. This is Olies first season fishing and he's started learning how to fly fish.

Robert Cameron - caught this this 38lb Pike on a visit to a very well known lump of water in Central Scotland. It's possible it's the same fish he caught last September at 37lb, a couple of weeks short of a year ago. The big Pike took a Trout cast to the same area as before.

Scott Jose - PB 7lb 65cm Bass caught in SW Scotland on a Chappy 100 top water lure. Plodded about shaking its head staying deep, released as always.

Stephen Legge - Was fishing on the West Coast of Scotland in the Oban area with a fishing friend and caught a Flapper Skate 98-76 Inches on the chart it shows 237.9lb!


Adam Surmacz - aught this beast with a drop shot set up using mud worms. At first he thought it was a Pike when it started pulling my line out right under the boat but to his surprise he pulled this gorgeous stripey out.
