 Good stuff hutch. I bet you wished you had a landing net on board as there would have been a few nervous moments trying to get that on board.

 Yeah definitely, was a b*tch to land.

Stupidly tried the bass grip with thumb in the mouth and found out first hand how strong their jaws and how sharp their teeth are 

Left me with a black nail this morning

Enjoyed the vid

and well done on the capture.  Pinks put up a good tussle on light gear as I found out in NZ in my younger days when I took my trout gear to the ocean.  Great fun.  A gaff can be as simple as a 10/0 hook or similar with the barb filed off screwed onto a short length of dowell.  Binding or hose clamp optional.  Cheap as but effective.
