Catching Whales
As i'm to illiterate to post a photo in a reply i have to start a new thread about this whale hooking.
End of last winter off Two Rocks, 30m, bottom bashing with bait.
Jock (strange name for a scotsman) got the hit of his life, with the line just peeling off. He was sure he had the biggest fish and was sure a PB was coming his way. I hauled in my line and was getting the deck prepped, gaff etc, but noticed his line, still peeling off, coming towards the surface. I ran for the camera so i could get that spectacular shot of a jumping fish. Both of us now screaming "it's going to jump".
When this whale surfaced i lost it and so did Jock. You can imaging him in a broad scots accent "Fuucken hell i've caugh a fuucken whale"
He locked up the drag and snapped off with just his hook and leader staying with the whale.
