JIMBOB Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 I was eyeing up last night all week, fishing was slow but I'm glad I sat on my hands and didn't move just after midnight my only proper run of the night, take was bassy but the fight wasn't! , sounding deep rather than the more usual kiting and runs, when I saw her in the water, I new this was the one I was after, felt like a lifetime till she was in the net but finally 14lb 6 oz as soon as I saw her I said I would put her back but after the fight, deep hooked, bleeding gills and the photos took there toll on such an old fish, holding her in the tide for 5 mins, then in the net over the back till we left, we couldn't get her to kick or right herself, so she will feed my brood for the week! I did have a problem with my camera and only got 1 shot! but mark took loads on his so will put a couple more on when I see him. still smiling :D Stuie and Kingfisher 126 2 Quote
alfie Posted July 13, 2013 Report Posted July 13, 2013 Wow, what a fish !!! What bait did she take? Assuming live pout / mackerel? Nice to see you did all that you could to return such a specimen and that your patience was rewarded. Nice report. Quote
