Picture this..... Its a beautiful picturesc summer afternoon... Your intention....to land a rod breakn Grunter.... First....5 mins elapse then a further 10min....ok, so know ure waiting over half an hour, thoughts start creeping into ure head, "Wonder if i shud check my bait?" or " I wonder if im using the right bait?" until all silence erupts from a hell bent rod and a screaming ratchet!!!!!

Body tenses as you lean into that fish, that ever smooth drag complimenting your choice of reel. The battle continues, knowing full well you only have 5kg breaking strain, you wanna enjoy this fight....Yet also land that fish. After a few min, that first shimmer of mother of pearl and those ripened spots appear and ol Grunt decides to give it another dash.....Until...

Ol Smiley Face appears!!!!!! :shock: With a sweep of his tail, you now realise why Ol Grunt decided to give it "one more dash"

Uncle Croc here decides he would rather have my only pull of the afternoon for his supper.....:X

So after a tug of war (or so i thought) with two swoops of his tail...he was gone.

I had a similar experiance about 10 years ago. I swam a bull mullet at Mapelane and the mullet swam into the mouth. the parkie was on the beach and said I should leave it as they had seen zambies in the river earlier.I did but SIR Croc had other ideas. croc 1 me O. Do not like fighting creatures that do not give up when out of water. cut my line after I realised it was a croc.
