Great action shots Fred......they really captured the moment. Now then folks let's have a guess what was going through Tango's mind in the second photo. He's obviously close to landing his first fish......so what was Tango actually thinking? Now presuming that Fred netted the fish, I'll start with: - "Don't you dare f***** cock this up Miers, if you do you'll have more than a bad back to worry about" !!!!!!  Paul and Fred........well done and thanks for sharing the experience ;D ;D ;D - by the way, I would guess 13lb. Chainman |

He had forgotten his net so when I turned up he was somewhat relieved. So I just pushed it ashore by the tail. It was very lightly hooked in the membrane on the lower jaw so a good job it wasn't allowed to take charge of the fight. I reckon we agree on 13lb. Fred

The scary moment was when I got in in the shallows ready to beach it, she decided she'd had enough and tore off down the pool again the leader hit Fred on the neck and nearly took his hat off......... I twitched somewhat then |
