Great news on Saturday.Tommy Corbett went out fishing on The River Suck with his son
Gerard. So what. Well Tommy has not fished for a number of years and is in his two fat
ladies year as Bingo puts it.Around Bill Dolan's of Creggan Tommy hooked into a huge
pike that took almost half an hour to bring to the boatside. Gerard tried to lift it by the
line from the net and the line broke.He caught it by the gills and lifted it into the boat.
Some English holidaymakers were fishing in another boat and they helped police the
river while the battle raged.They took photographs and helped burp the huge fish before
releasing it back to the wild.It was the biggest fish that Tommy ever caught and you can
judge what weight it was when we get the photo....hopefully soon.
