Congratulations Keith, I bet you thought you had snagged a submarine.

What did you use, a single rag on a 1 hook?

Seriously, what was your rig and bait?

My wee girls away to school with a copy of your piccie Keith. Hope you don't mind! She was soooo impressed she wanted to show the class (a true compliment!). That was an absolute monster! Daily Record fish of the week?
