good luck
The best of luck Samo.
In relation to the fight - I thought it would have been a bit better. However it was a bit breezy and there were some fairly significant waves breaking against the shore. We also had relatively heavy tackle. All of these things I believe effect the quality of the scrap in some small way.
It was still a massive thrill grabbing the fish by the tail as it makes a surge under the surf towards you!
