My first fish ever
Submitted by matttld25 on Mon, 2009-11-23 20:10
20 kg mackie this is my mates first fish ever ,He came to exmouth for three weeks to see me and go diving he's not much into fishing.
I had to con him out for an afternoon session ,it took about an hour and a half to raise this one .We had one on earlier and as it jumped a shark jumped with it and took it in the air ,he was amazed and have admit so was i.
But as you can tell by the look on his face that he needed no more convincing after that .
