Gigantica - Challenge Accepted
The challenge of Gigantica’s main lake was something that Jake was excited about and could not wait to get back to armed with lots of boilies and hopefully a slice of luck!
Jake reminisced: “For the past three years I’ve been lucky enough to be invited along on Danny’s annual trip with his mates.
“The first year I went turned out to be a long week as I lost two fish and the lake beat me up, but the following year I got a good draw and ended up in the Alamo swim, catching four fish – the best being a 44lb common called Classico – and losing one.
“That was an amazing week as my mate Mark Bryant, fishing in Co’s Point, landed Fudgy’s at 85lb, and we were all amazed by the sheer size of it. Ever since then I’ve dreamt about one day being lucky enough to catch one myself of that size.
“This year we arrived around lunchtime and during the walk round there wasn’t anywhere that I really fancied and the lake looked a bit dead, which made it even harder when it came to the draw. I came out ninth or tenth and decided to go in the Stink, as you usually get a chance of a fish during the week, plus it was the weediest swim on the lake and carp love the weed!
