tonyb 1,017 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Had a trip off Seaford today and tho' the fishing was pretty slow, I managed to hook a small yellow finned Sea Pike and as it was fresher than the frozen bait we had, on to the 4.0 Snapper hooks it went Soon after the bait hit the sea bed, the ratchet on the ABU 9000C started protesting loudly Wow, this biggy blew me away, having caught plenty of the smaller models in the past I was totally unprepared for a fish this big, 1.1 metres long :o :oBarracouta record stands at around 6kgs What a monster that would have been :fishing:Cheers, tonyb.URL=http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p5090153.jpg][/url] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
