Weathering the Storm: 74 Fish vs. A River in Flood! 🎣🌪️It’s always a pleasure welcoming back repeat clients, and this week was no exception! We had Thierry, a 10-year veteran with us, and Marcel back for his second trip. With their current personal bests sitting at a massive 170 lbs and 155 lbs, the pressure was on. This year, they brought a new generation along: Marcel's son, Sven, for his very first Ebro adventure!
The Ebro threw everything it had at us this week. We faced incredibly tough conditions, including a river in full flood, fierce winds, and sudden storms. Fortunately, experience pays off. Anticipating the rising water and heavy gusts, we carefully selected our swim well in advance to give the guys the absolute best vantage point. That strategic planning saved the trip, turning a potential washout into a masterclass in extreme angling.Despite the brutal elements, the action was relentless. The crew landed an astonishing total of 74 fish, keeping everyone on their toes and working hard from sunrise to sunset. The breakdown included 44 hard-fighting carp up to 41 lbs and 30 massive catfish peaking at a staggering 137 lbs. While Thierry and Marcel’s legendary personal bests remain intact for now, the real triumph belonged to Sven, who shattered his own personal records for both catfish and carp on his debut trip. It was an excellent, exhausting result, and the guys definitely earned some well-deserved rest before they return to battle the Ebro again next year!
