I learnt a similar lesson years ago,,,, never buy cheap shite when ur fishing,,, it takes SO much time/ preparation to just actually get out there on the water for starters,,,, to only sit there for 2 or 3 hours and have some gear fail and you lose the best chance you had this year!!!
that would really pisz me,,,
...., Im quite capable of losing the fish myself with out the gear failling!!!!!!!
Im yet to catch a green eyed monster,,, would love to snag one!!
Great catch anyways!!!
