Bacon is good, but one of those trout would've been better for tea, for me anyway. There's "field to fork" but this would have been "stream to stomach". Keep up the great work. There's a lot of fishing KZbin channels, your enthusiasm and humour make yours stand out and good fun to watch. Cheers.

@@robbiefishing in saying that i actually haven’t caught them before, but from what I’ve heard they seem to have their branches in the angling community particularly in Tasmania they grow to like 60-70 cm and like 4lb. Same with alot of other fish like catfish I’ve caught plenty of eel tailed catfish in a pond not far from where my grandparents live in SA , and there are some big buggers in there like 60cm and 5 pounds , and I’ll tell you even the small ones put up a hectic fight but when you hook into a big one especially on the 2-4kg rods with 6-8lb braid it’s so much fun they fight so hard but get a bad rep for being a trash fish which is not true.

More than any other species trout have mastered the art of tossing hooks as fast as they take them. Those aerial acrobatics will raise your adrenaline and dash your hopes with equal frequency. It's one of life's great pleasures.

[@robbiefishing]

Excellent Vid Robbie, Question, How do you stop the soft plastic from melting/expiring in yu tackle box?

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. The best way to look after soft plastics is to keep them in their packets and keep them away from other brands of plastics. Some brands will melt in the heat, some will melt other brands of plastics. The only brand that I know of that melts is the Z-man. If you store them on their own and don't let them get too hot they should be fine.

Don’t worry about the bacon, it’s the carbs in that bread that will get you.

By the way, I’m in my late sixties. My cardiologist was lost for words when I doubled my fat intake, and lowered my cholesterol! I don’t know if you test your blood sugar, but you look like a prime diabetes candidate, and remember all those carbs convert to sugars in your body.
