I had an experience out from Rotto one day when a mate got f@cking smashed by a monster and lost 300m of braid in no less than 60secs.
I lost the plot and couldn't get the vid out of the bag quick enough!
He had blisters on his thumbs for weeks!

IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

I had an experience once at Devils Gorge (LBG east Coast Style) 3 of us dropped frigate mackeral pinned on 24k into the drink inside of 2 mins 2 got spooled one decided to lock up when he saw what happened to us , he ripped so much skin off his bum and legs getting dragged across the rocks, jumbo fin in the 75-100 class feeding like sambo's . awesome

Some people hate getting busted up but i quite like it!........lets you know that fishing is still fishing and makes you think about what you could have done better, what you might have done wrong and makes for a better fisherman. Ive been done many times before as has everyone but all mine were 35kg plus dhuies so i dont mind to much ;) I WISH!lol.

Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!

Dogtooth

Fri, 2007-09-28 07:57

Probably a dogtooth tuna from the way it blitzed me.....It's a strange feeling of being helpless when that happens.....I was using a Tiburon 7540 and an Okuma Long Jig 24+ rod & 50lb spiderwire.....I had preset the drag at 8 kilos and by the end of the run had bumped it up a bit further....made no difference...I think this fish pulled string faster the longer I was connected to it. I agree with you Spess....if they were all easy, we probably wouldn't do it. This is one caught later that performed much the same, but wasn't as lucky.....
