MMM I was fishing for salmon
MMM I was fishing for salmon once and as I walked across some reefy hole I saw an octopus, thought I'd show my mate who was 100 yards away so I dropped my popper down to it so I could hold it there until he arrived. Trouble was the occy was large with arms at least a metre long. As soon as I hooked him he stuck out an arm grabbed a bit of reef and pulled himself into a hole. By the time my mate arrived all you could see was my line disappearing under a ledge. Lost my popper.
