#1 Post by thescotsman »

I have been known to dig for lug with my bare hands, but these guys have taken it to a new level
Fair play to them!

I'm guessing that this pic might have been taken in South Africa. They get black lug over there in the Estuaries, but you have to go deep as you can see. :mrgreen:

Excellent, didn't think we'd get an ID. You can let them know the pic is doing the email rounds which is how I came by it. Makes you think though, you never know when a photo is going to come back and haunt you :roll:

That's some size of bait pump beside him - be lucky the lug doesn't suck him down! :wink: :mrgreen:
