Namibia. I had several over 30 lbs, lost count of the number over 20, anything 10 -20 lbs wasn't noteworthy and anything under 10 lbs was a nuisance.

15lb Ugly Stick, 20lb Berkley Fireline, black Abu 7000, 2 oz lead, boat anchored in 6 feet of water outside the breakers. The fish could only run, not dive...... :D

Do you fancy it?

There is an article about Smoothies in Irish Angler's Digest this month. Ed Farrell mentions that the bigger specimens seem more common on the east side of the Irish Sea. It's quite an interesting article.
