At first I thought that this chap had his rod or tackle caught in an underwater obstruction, like a dead tree, but then I twigged he had a fish on... his rod tip bent more and he wound in and dashed about a bit and soon a large silver fish broke the surface waters... he was landing a mighty Severn Salmon!
