so I got 2 friends of mine to go with me last night and we hit the road got to the spot and first bait in a flapped mullet and nothing happened after some mackerel and sandy fillets so decided its time to slide a yellow tail head rapped with some mackerel fillets and waited about 20 minutes and heard my ratchet ran and grabbed the rod waited till she pulled me flat and I kapped her vas papa and she took a little bit of line and I started pulling that dead wait and after about 10 minutes saw her in the waves pulled her as close as possible and handed the rod to my friend and this time I wasn't letting my catch get away I ran in and grabbed that tail and my other friend came and helped me and eventualy we got her out a nice fat pregnant cow shark what a lovely smile she gave me and we quickly got the camera pliers and measuring tape and after measurement and a few quick pics of she went to fight another day. tackle used shimano technium heavy torium30 with 50 pound braid backing and 0.55 topshot and a 1.00mm leader.she measured 1.91m according to fishweights 100.23kg but she was pregnant aswell so maybe a bit more. I just want to say thank you for all the people that helped me so far to get where I am at the moment and from here on hope things get even better

Nice one Burney, judging by your recent catches I'd bet you'll be posting pics of your monster bronze very soon.
