Just for an idea of scale, that is a giant XLayer below in the jaws of a 40lb+ Wrasse that I caught this afternoon. I played it for 20 minutes (erm, may have been 20 seconds!), before swinging it in.
Maybe in reality he was actually closer to 40g than 40lb, but at around 12oz I suppose he breaks me in to the HRF crew.
Had I been fishing for pollack I think I could have landed a proper net full. Messing around on just a couple of shallower retrieves, they were swiping at baits all over the place. Did land one of about a pound, just to break my initial boredom after about half an hour of trying for the wrasse. With the boredom broken (I don't like blanking much), I was straight out again at the fot of a vertical cliff. Having let the bait settle, after just a few seconds I lifted in to the fish above. Proper scrappy little chap, I have no idea how I got a fish twice his size out on the LRF gear yesterday!
Anyway, Wrasse mission complete.
