Was looking to get out for a while but weathers not been the best of late,eventually I said hail,rain or snow I'd get out,got to my spot and got set up,was trying out a new daiwa sand storm and have to say I'm impressed,anyway lobbed out my baits and let nature take it's course,wasn't expecting much just out to enjoy the fresh air of which there was lots,was admiring the new setup when without warning it was ripped from the tripod,I lifted it and struck into a fish,my heard was racing as it tore off stripping line as it did,managed to get some line and it would strip more,this went on for a good 20 mins,I didn't mind not landing it at this stage was just an amazing experience,eventually I saw her sliding towards me and my heart sank,she was built like a torpedo,stunning fish,took a quick foot on the ifone,il upload later,and let her back,took her a while to recover but she did in one swipe of her tale she was off,didn't hang around long after that,had a few pints of the black stuff to celebrate,took a few scales of her just to see how old she was...

Thanks guys,that's my enthusiasm fuelled for another 20 blanks!!let's face it,the odds of catching a decent fish are stacked against us wit bad weather,poaching and overfishing to say the least

Well done that's a fine fish did you point her in the direction of Sligo when you let her go ?

Great bass mate well done beats my biggest by a mile it was just 10.5, but well pleased with it even, hope you had a good fight from him.
