[SCABBYDOG]

1st ever report (probably last!) hello to everyone. Fished Tuesday evening on a spur of the moment phone call from S8MRB at a top secret location, Within five minutes of the bait hitting the water my line was taken across three other lines and at the end of the ensuing tangle this beauty appeared at the surface.

There wasnt a horrible smell under my nose nor is it a caption competition but sheer surprise and exhaustion after landing and holding the beast.
I'd like to give all the praise and thanks to my guide and guru without whome none of this would have been possible.h34r:
