Can't beat the excitement of that tip bending double hearing the reel screaming off. A normally leave it for a second or two having the drag set firm making sure that hook on rig beds in natural.

Last few sessions on the sea, had an eventful day out yesterday, had some nice pollock for the freezer, a good few sharks around the boat, the biggest whiting I’ve ever seen, just shy of the Welsh record and a big big fish pretty sure a tuna took a liking to one of the baits on the shark rods and got completely stripped by the beast, that’s all I could do was hold on and watch as the line disappeared drag was pretty much at max and and it took it like it was on a river reel unreal power, gutted we lost it but memories made. Tight lines atb
