Oldies can still do it

 Put a mate of mine onto a few dhuies last month. He has to take his mum out with him at least a couple of times a year , part of the deal he did with his old man before he passed away. Anyway got to the spot and pulled a couple of fish over the side that weighed in at 13 and 16 kg ,we were pretty happy with that so got on the radio and called old mate over , he sets up his drift and before he has a chance to get his line over the side his old chook ( she would be 70 odd ,but i didnt say that) hooks up on a train. She wont use a good rod and persists with an old egg beater and the most basic of rigs ,the good money was on her getting bricked, but after a good 15 min tussle  a dhuie that eventually weighed in at a solid 18kg pops to the surface. Hi fives and yeahas from over the water ensue and a few expletives from the crew on my boat re old mate getting done over by his mum and the call was made to head home with the fish still on the bite.Happy Days.

 Thats a good effort. Took my mum out a couple of months ago and she was buggered after half a day, and didn't catch a thing. Still loved it though.

Well done
