There aren't many more species in our rivers that trump these awesome little creatures, spirited fights coupled with very bold biting, everything about these fish raise the question, where would they rank in terms of desire to catch them if they grew to say five pounds?
For me, I thoroughly enjoy catching them regardless.
Here are a few snaps of a little batch of Gonks that I had roughly 6 weeks ago.
I used to keep some in an aquarium, much better than watching the telly.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I love how quite often they'd all gang up together, side by side as I kept around forty at some point as a kid, they are a pukka little species.
DeleteHa,ha! Your gonks were bigger than mine. Stunning little fish.
