Beauty. It's an awful feeling when it all goes slack after getting it so far in. Especially if it's the only decent bite you get. At least you got this beauty in.
 
Beauty of a fish, well done. Real bummer about the one that got off but at least you got a good consolation prize.

Lost a good un myself last night as well when my rig bust, that'll teach me to tie them better next time:mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Good effort!

Good effort!

Well done on the Cod! Cracking specimen!
I lost what was probably a double figure Conger at The Cannons in Eyemouth this Summer. The "what if/imagine" lasted for about a week.
Hardlines on the one that went deep six!
