if it was 6 foot long i,d guess it was a tope ,unlike hounds tope have razor sharp teeth so try not to go swimming with one again or you will be getting plenty of adrenaline off a doctor :lol:

That's a terrible way of holding those big fish, nobody commented on that so it mustn't do any harm as they swam off grand?

with sea serpant here, wait til later in the year - theyll be like vermin when your trying to target anything else!

mind you the better ones are always caught early on - end of april/may time - then all the 2/3lb take over - a shocking waste of good crab!!!
