Report:hit the same spot again this morning lads and bang on high tide I hit into this beauty on a feed shallow.the fish gave me a epic battle one that I won't forget it in a hurry which involved me rock hopping a bit.it was also a bad day in a way coz I deep hooked the fish which caused a lot of bleeding and no release which I'm still quite guilty over.on the way home I weighed the fish in my local butcher as I do not have a scales it came in at 11.5lbs.it will be a day I will never forget both good and bad and something tells me it's a week I won't have for quite some time again.

That is a dream fish catcher! Well Done! Its is a pity the fish didnt survive the encounter but I have to echo what sparks said also, the fish had a long and no doubt productive life and is heartening to see anglers of your kaliber being as conservation minded as yourself.

Awesome fish there lad, well done; although the smaller Bass around the 40 cm mark are far better eating.
Big female stock fish like that are priceless in terms conservation; when it come to the future of our sport

Fish of a lifetime well done What im more in awe of is the fact that a bass of that size still existed in that area considering the amount of fulltime illegal netting that goes on along that stretch of coastline.Well done and enjoy the moment

all time and effort put in is rewarded when you hook a fish like that

Crackin fish lad. Well done. Better to see it eaten by yourself than a seal or crabs if it wasnt gonna survive.
