Back to a new drift..........only pollack (too big) as livebaits. Weather was good and spirits had been lifted. Talk was about how good a fish this was and how few bigger fish Adam or I had ever caught. Halfway through the drift after the 'big one' and Liv was not to be outdone. However, there was a twist in this one.....I went to check the bait on one of our rods, weed was everywhere. Covering baits and putting bass off. As I wound in, there was a thump on the bait and it is let go, it felt heavy, really heavy. I said to Ad "that felt big'", the ones that get away always do!! Anyway, I have it line and let line spill out to the float, just incase it was still about. 10 seconds later, the float slowly moved against the tide, slow and steady. Hmmm, looks interesting "Liv, come here". Well, the next few mins were exciting, Liv listened well, prob having just watch Ruben helped. I backed down on the fish as it had taken quite a bit of line. Again it was staying on the surface and kiting back and forth. It came to the net and wow, beast! Having just landed a 9.5, this looked biiiig! Having just whipped the head on the net, it was used more delicately! The fish went 12lb 12oz and was a beaut. Big old belly and very thick across the shoulders. Sent from my SM-G981B using Tapatalk
