New PB on cane

Post by Harry H »

New personal best for me and my cane caught on a dog biscut under the rod tip on 8lb line.After what seemed like an eternity and about five refusals at the net it was landed,a very pleasing 17 1/2lb.Both rod and owner have straightened up nicely Image

Thanks for your comments :Hat: thats the trouble with always being the last on the lake never somebody to take a picture when you want one.
