Additional Info: After setting up and noticing a lot of fish high in the water and on the surface I decided to get out some floaters and not put any other rods out, instantly they was being taken by a good few fish but there was 1 that was considerably bigger than the rest and I was only aim to catch this fish, after 2 hours of constantly chasing it with the float rod putting it in front of it with no joy, the last cast as it would be the controller float actually hit the fish on the cast and as the fish spooked and turn away it took the Pop-Up and away we was, what a battle it was lasting about 20mins on my 2lb float rod, it went through weed bed after weed bed and when I actually landed the fish it was in a ball of weed and I didn't actually know if it was actually in there or was it just weed. Once I lifted the net and got my first look at it it was definitely in there and I was in awe as it was a new pb.
