well wee have all heard about the big fish lost stories , here is a tale never to be forgotten , the last big storm we had i fished the high drum on the south dock , got on when the sea was making ,3 hours later the sea was the biggest i have ever seen , i was trapped no way of even at low water it was just to big , so i thought i would stick it out, i was living alone at the time so no one to miss me ,after 5 days had gone bye , i was starting to get delirious through lack of food and dehydration think i would of had a hour to live , i was down to my last mussel, so just dropped the line down the side of the drum , within a minute i got a huge bite the fight was on , after a half hour i managed to hand ball a 25 pound cod over the drum head , when it crashed to the ground it spewed a full carton of fresh milk up it must of just eaten , so i drank the four pinta and felt a lot better within minutes, the sun came out and the sea dropped so i gutted the fish which saved my life in side its stomach was a pawn ticket , so as i walked home with the fish over my shoulder i popped in to the pawn shop and got my self a lovely rolex gold watch , what a catch
