cheers man. i had that rod set up for dogs,,,, it never dawned on me that a conger might fancy a go at the bait :shock: :shock: but what a scrap :P :P :P 10mins to free him up then a bit of soggy feet rock hopping to get him landed. priceless!!! i'll not forget that one too soon :mrgreen:

shamoo0804 wrote:Some report, and some fishing, you had the midas touch on that session alright Al, especially to land a conger on a spinning rod.
I'm sure I read another recent report of somebody doing the same.....it might be the start of a new angling trend :lol:
That last conger had certainly had it tough with all them scrapes.


cheers mark. i remember that report too. i don't know what i would have done if he had of been any bigger :shock: :shock: :shock: it was dodgey enough landing that one on my own on the rocks :shock: :shock: he must have been well wedged between the rocks before i got him up as you can see the scratches and scrapes he got for his troubles :o
