You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

good banter lads - and coppinger does actually catch these fish :shock: :P

2HP is the strength of the fish...... everyone know that.

You chaps never hear of a 2 Hook Paternoster?
Seriously the geezer reckoned it was the biggest he'd seen caught on that stretch for a few months - says something terrible about the state of the stocks along the east coast
