I thought I had caught one before, but my brother inlaw said it was just a pale common,

Well I was fishing with my step brother, it was a hard days fishing, we decided to sit right in the brunt end of the cold wind, so not the best place to be fishing, it was a quiet day,

I had 2 carp about 1lb:P and a 10lb 8oz common already during the session, my stepbrother had caught afew fish and got spat by 2 (one was a real biggen)

with 5minutes till packup, my friend called me to ask how fishing was going, as he was on the phone, I had to chuck it on the floor to strike my rod, after 2minutes I saw a flash of white under the surface,

so I bullied it alittle to the surface just to get a quick glance to see if it was a ghosty and gosh did my face light up :) played the fish for about 5-10 minutes till it eventually gave up, netted it and called it the beautiful creature that it is.

just over 10lb, not big, but its still my first ghosty :D
