Additional Info: Fishing a week in France is always daunting until you get a fish in the net, luckily for me the first morning I was met with this beast, being my first ever 40lb fish and taking me straight into the 20 kilo club. A simple slip d rig with a bottom bait topped with a cornz was the rig fished over a kilo of scattered free offerings
