Metro pink pb
Submitted by choorles on Thu, 2013-02-14 14:20
Had to make good use of yesterday's conditions, so committed early to be out there before sunrise. Sounded some good ground with fish on it and set the burley trail. Didnt get any action for around an hour so dropped jig head size down to 1/2oz with a zman placcie and chucked it out the back . Got slammed about half way down and started peeling off the 10lb braid on my 4000stradic ! Had 2-3 more solid runs before I could get a crank in then slowly started working it back to the boat. Finally got it close for a net - my pb pinkie - went 85cm about double the size of any metro pinkie I've got!
Few snaps and released well - didnt get anything else for the rest of the morning but this was definitely worth the early start :)

Nice pic, nice fish, top work, what depth can I ask?
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
