what can you reel up

[tony.codling]

heres a old debate whats the biggest fish youve ever wound up a cliff
or pier say at least 30 ft high :exclam:
me personaly i cant wind up any thing over 4 pound max
i have to pull them through the eyes of my rod
and yet people tell me theyve wound up 7 pounders

 

[Davyred]

Tony, I\'ve lifted 5 pounders up on Roker, the South and the old north pier, wouldn\'t even try to reel them up though, don\'t want to strip the gears on my 525!!

 

[rocky]

my dad used to wind up 8 pounders at the mudhole with his scarbrough reel many moons ago

 

[tony.codling]

aye rocky i well believe it

Charlie Peary, one of my dads mates, once hauled up a double figure fish from the back of Tynemouth pier with his scarboro. As he got it 3 parts in the gadgy in the watch house came along. Charlie was committed so continued pumping. The gadgy said \"I\'ll confiscate that\".
.... over came a 6\' batten hooked neatly in the middle. Watchy said \"even better\" and nicked it.

[tony.codling]

sless couldnt do it
so its not just me

 

[sless]

your a penn 535 man as well tony arent you
must be the retrieve on them ???

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

I can honestly say I\'ve NEVER had a problem reeling a big \'un up the side of anything. EVER!



If I could catch one to start with I\'d be handballing it all the way or if that looked risky a swan dive, teeth into the soft underbelly and breast stroke it in.

\"What can you reel up?\"

Wasn\'t it a certain Mr. Forrest who kitted himself out with almost an entire wardrobe when fishing on The Boys.........lol

Whatever happened to Les?

 

[colossus]

I\'d like to have the chance to try pulling up something over 4lb!!! Did once lose a fish at Blyth Pier that I got to the surface. It looked like by far the best fish I\'ve ever had but I couldn\'t lift it out of the water. I was a complete beginner at the time and it didn\'t occur to me to walk down to the beach and, difficult as it is to believe, there was nobody else there to help. It was f@cking freezing and Everyone else had given up. I decided to fish out my bait and it was the last cast. Decided to pack up and then realised my line was slack. Started reeling in and felt weight and realised I had a good fish. As far as I\'m concerned it was definately double figure!!!!! Well maybe. But it was certainly the best fish I\'ve had from the shore. Sure nobody else has a story like that but, cross my heart and hope to die, it\'s true.

 

[Charlie_Thompson]

Off my dads boat I\'ve reeled up half a mile of dodgy rope with a bit of concrete on the end. \"It might be a Basking Shark dad\" and another thing that felt like a dead weight. A tiny anenome attached to a massive rock. (30lb) or kilos

 

[sless]

les is still about
he pulled a pair of cordsin
bert got the jacket
hahaha

 

[willywetegg]

I have had fish up to six and a half pound on Blyth pier which I have wound up with no problems. That was on a normal 535 and also on me 525 with a long leader though.
