Paul J Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Had a morning drifting the ledge today- only one hook up which screamed a away on the float rod. After an exciting battle the fish was up at the surface 10yards off the stern, it was easily a double- a huge fish! He saw the boat screamed off again cutting right across a buoy, my attempts to back upon it in the tide single handed failed as the braid which was peeling off at speed found a bit that had buried itself in the spool and Ping! it was all over, Althogh gutted it was nice to fight it and to see in the water was heart stopping, I'll be back PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBettle Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Blimey Paul From tat description (Backing up single handed) I reckon you can be nicknamed, "The Old Man of The Sea" and that you had actually hooked a Grander Marlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
