Seaham Cracker~20lb

[jonesey]

Fished Seaham last night from around midnight til this morning. Turned out to be my best ever session with a good bag and new pb.(by miles)

First cast with yellows and razor and a massive slack liner which was missed. soon after and another drop back with some slack which I hit into. A good bent and plenty of nodding suggested a good fish which when first broke surface i took to be about 8-10lb. Luckily, I didn't try to lift it and managed to get down to it and grab it by the gills. (Get in!!!):red:

Now I saw what a huge lump it was as can be seen by these photos....Check out that cheesy smile!!

slightly bigger at 19ib 3 1/2oz (rutherfords) 0r 20 1/2ib (ne tackle)??

Got a steady run of fish then throughout the tide, all on yellows and razor. One at around 5ib, the others roughly between 3 1/2 and 2ib(6 in total-2 returned).

All in all a fantastic session from which i,m still buzzing

Thanks to Brian who joined me from around 2am.....
