I think its even worse if you catch something and its not a fish...
I was fishing a private venue in Delmas area,,, all my mates were catching, and me not a single bite....
A loooong 5 days without a single bite(not a single bleep), 400m in and in about 4meter water, got THE RUN of my life!!!!!
Fight on!!, and what a fight........
But wait, every time I lift my rod tip, far in the distance a black dot seems to go under the water,,, turned out to be a snakebird(Anhinga)...
Thats my PB snakebird(my 1st snakebird,not mentioning bleshoenders) on a Crit balanced tiger.
Never took a photo or weighted it, was to Sh!t scared, as it fights harder outside the water then in it!!
Somehow managed to release it safely(by safely i also mean we were unharmed)...
7day trip ended with;
2 other mates, with a lot of fish
and
Me with only one snakebird and a bruised ego...
(im sure the bird counts and therefore its not a blank)
