tangs sister Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 well i copped a nice 74cm number on my larger outfit. it ended up taking me round the anchor rope twice then snapped my rod tip- luckily it didnt lose the hook-up so boated the fish at 74cm. but what a pain in the ass, kind of my fault as i didn't give it much room to play but i didn't want him around that anchor rope again.

gretsch Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 At least it didn't take your rod, reel, rod holder, side rail and 100 bucks worth of braid!!! Anyway, on the bright side, you get to go shopping!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodBlues Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 nice healthy looking kingie well done on getting it in on the broken rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I reckon a visit to Go Fish will make you happy when you can get to buy a new rod and accidently more gear. Just tell your wife that you were so heart broken and that you need the retail fix to repair a broken heart. Most wives can relate to this.
