Maverick Martin Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Wow sounds like a brilliant day and thanks for sharing with us. BTW haven't seen crazy for a while hope he is keeping well? Martin Quote
great white Posted July 23, 2010 Report Posted July 23, 2010 Thanks for the report Sounds like an excellent day, certainly one to cherish. I hope you had time to take some pictures, would love to see them Glad to hear that it swam off OK Charlie Quote
great white Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks Tony I was trying to add those pictures for you, but the email sent is so big it stalls my system at home and I could not even reply. Was the Fish hooked in the Tail or is that a crazy Fred landing system? I have fin hooked a few tope in the past and they are hard to fight that way, I imagine a big shark would be far far worse. Good capture though Charlie Quote
duncan Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 I have fin hooked a few tope in the past and they are hard to fight that way, I imagine a big shark would be far far worse. my thoughts too....... Quote
