Stupid Bolt Cutters

 Thought i had a good fish this morning. Rod bucked in the holder, line peeled off the reel & i hooked into a heavy fish. Felt like a Dhuie for a moment, but then there was something not quite right with the way it was fighting. Still it was a big fish. I didnt even think of N/W  blowie till it hit the surface. Grunting like a pig & grinding its teeth. The bloody thing was nearly 80 cm long. Jees I hate them. Havent caught one for a long time but had a hook bitten off not long after this one so probably that was another. Did I mention that I hate them? 

 Any one else caught one lately?

As Tim said, good for practicing gaff shots, if you're lucky enough to get a school swimming around the boat can make for a good laugh gaffing the free swimming ones, had some good sessions in the sound

 I bring out the really light gear if there's a school around and in can't be arsed moving, good chance to practice your angling prowess 

And then of course the inevitable gaff shots
