Rob Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 She did Ian, but we were Ninja Fishing in the trees. So couldn't give any line and only had a 10x15 ft opening of water to play her. Surrounded by tree trunks, roots, branches. With the cloured water, I was able to sneak the net under without it being seen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
