From monster Pike to rare catches and record-breaking moments, the past week has been an impressive entry in the Daily Record Daiwa Fish of the Week. Fish from far and wide like Ben White’s 59lb common carp from Lake Bled, a beautiful Irish Ferox and a Norwegian monster from the deep. In Scottish waters we have had some first catches, some unusual Species turning up and some big catches from anglers enjoying the favorable fishing conditions in September.
We want to thank everyone who entered!
The winner will be announced in Friday’s Scottish Daily Record newspaper and also on our social media channels see our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Make sure you follow us so you don’t miss out!

Ben White – After an incredible week at Lake Bled he managed this 59lb Common among others |
|
Blair Grant McMillan – first time fishing at Luce Bay with his friend. They took a treacherous route to a place they thought was beautiful. After 10/15 mins the rod started going and hooked a fish. He didn’t know what it was until I got it over the edge, he knew it felt big but I didn’t expect to catch a big Bull Huss my first time out there. |

Daniel Powell – Lovley 5lb Salmon, caught on a size 2 gold Savage Gear Caviar spinner. Caught at TTA Waters in Newcastle Emlyn, Wales. |

Darrin Limond – 84cm 17lb Ferox the biggest of 7 landed Loch Corrib Ireland using trawled Roach Bait out on a charter with Tomiguidefishing |
|
Frank Gourlay – Out at SIB for a bit of dropshotting for Perch with his ultralight HTO Rock Rover when the shaft broke. After a long battle of having to keep removing weeds ect from his line he finally landed this amazing fish. |
|
Ian Lindsay – went to Camp Halibut in Soroya, northern Norway hoping to catch the huge flattie the camp is known for. However, something quite unexpected came up during the halibut hunt. Ian’s 1.5lb coalfish dead bait was snaffled by a 27.5lb Monkfish. Ian thought he had run straight into a snag, when it sprang to life and gave him the fight of a lifetime. |
|
Innes Bygate – Caught this 4 pound Trout from a small hill loch on the north coast of scotland on a size 2 Mepps spinner, he said it put a few scraps on his Shimano FX 10-30g rod. |
|
James Jenner - A lovely day on Loch Long near Arrochar resulted in 7 species for my partner Maggie and I, the best of which being this lovely Black Bream. Taken on a white Finesse soft plastic lure, fished on a 7g Cheb and size 1 weedless hook. A pretty rare fish for the Clyde and a very happy result on their annual trip to Scotland.

Jim Meek – with a 195lbs Skate from Loch Linnhe caught from the JOLA IV charter – a fish of a lifetime! |
|
Lee Jones – is at Loch Lomond testing his new Westin W4 Powercast rod to see how it handles bigger lures. After wearing the Miuras Mouse and doing a few casts, he becomes a good Pike |
|
|
Lewis Kerr – Lewis age 6 fishing in the Broomhill coarse fishery. Fishing one way feeder with micro pellets and corn. His little 5ft rod bent double when this big Common Carp ran by. |
|
Liam Gunn - had been putting in effort in an attempt to try and beat my personal best wild Brown Trout, which stood at a little over 7lbs.
He finally managed to get the monkey off by back however, as I started exploring some new areas armed with some black streamer flies. Last week, I was stripping back a streamer beside a weed bed when the water erupted, and everything tightened up.
There were one or two hairy moments as the fish began to thrash around violently, but I soon guided the fish into the waiting net, and instantly knew this was the fish of a lifetime. It was weighed in my mcleans net at 10.3lbs

Mikey Walsh – Dover Sole, an unusual species for Scotland, caught in the Solway Firth. Using a One Up One Down Rig with a Lugworm bait. |

Ollie Giles aged 13 with a stunning Tiger trout of 4lb. Taken on a spinner at Loch Glow in Fife. It was Olies first season of fishing and he started learning how to fly fish. |
|
Robert Cameron – this 38lb Pike was caught on a visit to a well known headwater in Central Scotland. It’s possibly the same fish he caught in September at 37lb, a few weeks short of a year ago. The big Pike took a Trout cast in the same place as before. |
|
Scott Jose - PB 7lb 65cm Bass caught in SW Scotland on a Chappy 100 top water lure. Plodded about shaking its head staying deep, released as always.

Adam Surmacz - aught this beast with a drop shot set up using mud worms. At first he thought it was a Pike when it started pulling my line out right under the boat but to his surprise he pulled this gorgeous stripey out.
