ragged me over board only to snap off when one of the lads grabbed my belt to stop me going for a swim!! and we also had 5 good size blue fish and lost about 6 or 7 more because we were using floro leader so as not to spook the bass,the blues have teeth like razors!! and fight a bit like big mackeral but would not come near the stripers for shear power!! any way a great day we will never forget

Fair play lads. Some fine lumps of fish there. Good on ye using the light gear. Nothing like it. Petty you snapped one of the rods but i bet the ones that didn't get away made up for it. :D 8)
