 No safety, since it got

 No safety, since it got nicknamed the "idiot line" he hasnt used one for a year. He took the fish from hookup (fair bit cutout) and was first to pick it as a wahoo not a macky. 

He was pretty puffed when he handed it over but soon perked up again.

Music-ZZTop became a bit of an anthem since Perfect Storm, my deckys would always chuck it on for the first shot away on a longline trip! Alternative (edited by my daughter14) would be Gay Sebastion or One Direction
