pelican Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 That trev must have eaten itself to death or had a heart attack to be landed either that or it jumped ashore being chased by a big shark. An absolute monster and to land it shorebased is astonishing. Is there any details about the fish and fight or is the fisher still in hospital getting back surgery and cosmetic surgery to wipe that smile off his face?

I was surfing around a few American rod building sites and found the image. So you're saying this fish speaks French? Don't think the angler does though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
