well done lads, sounds like an exciting session! there will always be people who disagree with what gets posted on here its just personal opinion. That's what comes of posting an honest catch report.
The good things to take from this are the positive comments and advice. Scotty I'm sure you don't want to lose any more big fish so the most important thing is learning from what you think went wrong, I know you and sam are pretty switched on about your fishing , and I'm sure you will get your heads together and work out the best way forward. Well done for thinking outside the box and actually getting out there and trying different stuff , the only way to improve your own skills is to get out there and make your own mistakes, If I was wearing a hat I'd take it off to the pair of you!!Tight lines lads.
Always look forward to your reports.
