Aye Pat, was hooked in the front quarter. Its a common problem when using those wiggler lures.
The Lures move so erratically and fast, the fish miss them with there mouth and get hooked up about the head or under belly. Lost a lot of fish because of this up there.
Danny.

A lot more difficult to play a fish hooked like that you have no control overit and plays like a fish nearly twice its weight. Fair play for landing it! pat

Well done - that's an absolutely fantastic fish and an excellent video. Your man in the commentary box did a good job too!

Yeah Pat, it was hard fishing trying to control it, especially when it nearly took all my line in one run. Counting my lucky stars so I was !patk wrote:A lot more difficult to play a fish hooked like that you have no control overit and plays like a fish nearly twice its weight.
