Why do I even try....(LB Pink)

 After many trips to our favourite offshore snapper spots in the last couple weeks with nothing at all to show for it I was lost for words (except for a few i wont repeat) when this monster hit the beach last weekend!

Fishing down at our local beach in Mandurah for tailor, we picked up 2 good 35-40cm fish before sunset and with a few mulies left decided to put in an extra hour to see if anything else was out there.

We didnt have any scales but it measured 94cm and gave a good account for itself on 6kg spin gear.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

the fight only lasted a few minutes but during that time he had complete headway and I had no control over him at all. he went berserk but becuase he only ran down the beach and it was so shallow, once he was tired it only took a couple of decnt waves and he was on the beach
