After 3️⃣ weeks off moving house I finally dusted the rods off and headed back to the syndicate. With a 🌕 full moon and big 🌬️ winds pushing, it just had to be done. 🚀
Traffic stitched me up 😤 and I rocked up a couple hours late, only to find my options limited… the only swim left was the one that’s been my nemesis all year. 😅 Still, rods went out with a healthy dose of my tweaked 🎯 SSK – confidence high. 💯
The first night was painfully quiet, just a few liners keeping me hopeful. Rolling into Saturday night, the wind really started hacking in and it just screamed a bite… but the rods stayed motionless. Then, at 11:30 ⏰, that unmistakable big fish take began – a slow, steady tick on the 🎣 left-hander that built into a run. 🔥
After a heavy scrap in the 🌿 w**d and a heart-stopping moment thinking I’d lost it in a huge ball of w**d, I looked down and there it was… safely tucked in the mesh. One I’ve been gunning for from the start, one everyone whispers about – “Anchor” at a colossal 47lb 💥🐋🏆
Absolutely blown away. 🤯 SSK doing the damage again 🎯, topped with a 💛 Acid Active on a stiff hinge.
Happy times… and the curse of my nemesis finally laid to rest! 🍾🔥🐟
