Landbased
Went out for an overnight session with my mate Manie. Took his kids and and my eldest along. Had a cracker evening with Tailor and rays being landed. Hauled out my Big Assasin heavy rod, loaded it up with a 7 oz grapel sinker and half of a tailor, casted the whole lot in and waited.
Man when that drag went it sang. One shout to my daughter, on went the bucket and she grabed the rod. It was fight on. One 5 foot landbased little tiger verses one 5 foot+ bronze whaler. She spent 45 mins walking up and down the beach, eventually landed this baby, with Manie's son tail grabbing it for her. Couple of Pics and safely released to swim and hopefully fight another day. Hats off to her, she insisted on removing the hook and releasing by herself. You can see the remains of the bait on the trace, it move up the trace with the fight.

Thats certainly one good thing about sharks, the reel singing and at a rapid rate of knots.

Good stuff, I'd recommend some pliers for hook removal though.

Her smile says it all
One of you blokes should have had their body weight on it's head if she insisted on getting the hook out with her fingers..Plenty of Utube clips of what can happen..lol
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

Saffirs love the reel
South African shore based anglers love the set up and can some cast an 8oz weight a decent distance. Most big fish are caught sliding live baits or large dead baits.
