Guest hottuna Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) thanks guys. Bait was fresh caught large squid strip, on twin 8/0 hooks. While on the phone bragging to a made my other reels starts singing that song we all love to hear, (this time on a butterflyed tailor) droped the phone picked the rod up and POP, my leader pops at the knot. It appears that the leader on the twin hook rig had cut on the eye of the hook! Not good and have since changed the way i tie my 2nd hook on. Tide was last hr of run- in and first 2 of the run out. Also managed another smaller jew first off, its sitting on the table in the pic, it would have been released had it not come in first. water was warm at 20deg. Pretty tough to gaff alone, thank god i remebered to ask Glen Mitchell (hawkesbury classic identity) last week how he does it alone. dan Edited November 15, 2005 by hottuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
