DaveBM Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 So the ins and outs of my recent spat with my ex-wife are not a fit topic here, but suffice to say the “net” result (oh, my aching sides!) was that my landing net got summarily thrown away. Imagine then my impotent rage at hooking a PB flattie, by a lot, then being netless on 6lb gear. I was on a pontoon, so right at water level, but the moment I reached out to grap a lip, a big head shake and POP! Actually got a hand around its tail before it slipped away. It was definitely over 70 cm, probably near 80, and took my much-loved Samaki soft vibe in whitebait formation with it. Until I get a new net, it’s 12lb leader for flatties! 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no combination of actions I could have taken to prevent this - it was pure malice, and if not the net then it would have been something else. Perhaps I deserved it! But anyway bear in mind you only have my side of the story, and I could be a terrible person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
