Overrun Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Began as another Friday night Smooth Hound foray, sadly the weed which was absolutely horrendous put us very close-in and out of the tide. Last cast of the evening resulted in this: Not a monster, but another fish off the species list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Excellent catch. And all from a sit-on-top. That must've got the heart thumping as it came over the gunnels. Talk about "at close quarters!!!" Steve Irwin would've been in a panic. Nice one. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overrun Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks all, only a 100 yards from the shore (to avoid the weed) so it lay upside down in the foot well while paddling in to unhook and photo, had my leg hanging over the side to be on the safe side! ..and to think there's potentially 50lbers about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
