Anyone seen a longtom this "long". Caught some time back by Jill and had no idea what in hell it was. Didnt jump and felt "snaky" with odd headshakes.

This was caught by Jill
On her Monster mesh and Saragosa 8000 and still gave "some" stick.
And normally she just crunch them in. Was different.

The above is mad
Yes realized after some time that a slab of LT is about as good as a mulie for bashing the drain hole. Nice and oily, and more resistant to pickers than just about anything. Hence a landed one IS bait.

Crocodiles
Great to see them skip over the water chasing bait fish, even better to get one on a small lure and light line. They go well for their size
