45" Northern

Managed to land this monster yesterday and oh boy what a good time that was.

Sometimes a little luck is all you need to catch that slab you've been dreaming of. I was resetting my dead stick rod outside the tent, switching to a bigger bait. I had dropped the bait to the bottom and was pulling it up a little to adjust the depth when bang! Line comes peeling out of my hand and it was on!

After a good 10 minute fight on 12lb test I was able to wrestle this monsters head up the hole and permanently slap a smile on my face.

Took it to the tent for some quick measurements and a photo before releasing her back to the depths.

Tight lines everyone!

....and yes we always mark out sight holes, and you should to!
