heres the pic,
went down for some bream, decided to put a live tailer out, after a 1/2 hour it got smashed.
got it up to my feet and remembered i didnt bring a net, got the wife to take a pic.
then a well meaning stranger came down with a gaff that looked like it came off a japanese whaling ship.
he had a couple of goes at it with the gaff. and then it snapped
only had dodgy 9 pound line that has been in my garage for years (as trace)
