I done a torn bicep (partial tear) back in 2012, the muscle although fully functional is in a weakened state, pulling up a deadweight for nigh on 2 hours would probably do my other one! I'm in admiration as a better man than me...

Bloody hell. That's epic

That's a magnificent looking beast!

I think it was Bill Little who once described Skate fishing to me as being like trying to haul a garage door off the sea bed, that's fighting back!

It’s exhausting all you want to do is pump it up and all she wanted to do is stick to the bottom the first 20 minutes you might as well just sit down because you think you’re gaining line but all you’re doing is stretching 500ft of mono

John that’s basically true that fish was the last of the day after 8 hrs a float when your an hour in and think you’re getting some where they just dive down and strip the reel taking everything you gained and then some

Think I’m going to make it a yearly pilgrimage
and the ones over 100lb are mostly female

Excellent stuff. I fished for them on Ronnie Campbells boat out of Oban. A great experience.
