That's a horse of a red by any standards, even better on a jig!
Where abouts are you fishing out of sexton?
Keen as to try and get some of that sort of action in a few weeks time myself up at Coral Bay.

Couldn't believe it when we saw it pop up boat side, quite a few excited hollers and high fives were thrown around!
