fished a rock mark near to ilfracombe fri night, the end result were two of the biggest doggies i have ever had!
god only knows what it was but i had the gentlest of nods on the rod tip struck into it only have something pull back almost as if it was saying "is that all you got sucker" after a short tug of war my weight got stuck so i gave it the some slack in the hope it would pull the weight free. after about 2 minutes the plan worked the fish went off like a rocket it probally stripped 20yds of line from my reel before i picked my rod from the tripod and reingaged the clutch. this led to another game of tug of war before "crack" you got it line failure.
now i have not heard of any nuclear sub manovures in the area but whatever took my bait definatly had a rocket up its rectum!
all fish and bites came to mackerel bait, squid and king rag didnt even tempt the crabs
