Hey,
Went out to the locale channel armed with 3 rods.
Put 2 lines out, one with 40 lb braid as main line and another with 6 kilo braid.
Used corn and cheese as bait until I caught some shrimp and put some on the big rod
It’s was quite so I got up to look at a splash in the water maybe 14 meters away and then I hear a “thud”.
I turn around to see the big rod being pulled into the water and I run faster than the Sebb when he caught that snapper and grab the rod.
This is a big fish, I thought. I had the drag pretty high and it was pulling line out like nothing. I fought the fish for 8 mins before it made a splash on the surface, like someone jumped in the water.
After around 20 mins and more splashes I got it to the bank and got my first look at it.
“Oh danm it’s a giant!!!”
Before I could do anything it splashed again and pulled out a lot of line. This happened a few more times before I finally got it to the bank, went to put my fingers in its mouth to land it and…….
I heard a crack followed by the fish making one last splash before swimming away.
The big mud marlen had snapped my rod rip off!!! This is the second huge fish I have lost at that spot and I don’t know what to do. My estimate was that the fish was around 115 cm and maybe 11 kilo.
Ended up catching a small carp afterwards.
I might start a fishing YouTube channel.
Thanks,
