Wow sounds like a brilliant day and thanks for sharing with us.

Martin

Thanks for the report

Sounds like an excellent day, certainly one to cherish.

I hope you had time to take some pictures, would love to see them

Glad to hear that it swam off OK

Charlie

Thanks Tony

I was trying to add those pictures for you, but the email sent is so big it stalls my system at home and I could not even reply.

Was the Fish hooked in the Tail or is that a crazy Fred landing system?

I have fin hooked a few tope in the past and they are hard to fight that way, I imagine a big shark would be far far worse.

Good capture though
Charlie

my thoughts too.......

no mouth hooked to start with then spat hook and ended up in tail what a fight

I bet it could realy go that way around

It must have been very exciting, I wish I had been there.

we hope to give them a couple of trips while the waters warm and Sam is on leave

Nice catch and release
Charlie
