An exciting afternoon....

Was out fishing one of my favourite wild spots this afternoon when it all happened.....
I was covering an area which had produced fish for me on previous occasions when I got hit by a good fish just below the surface.

I managed to control the fish in the surf and rocks around me but had a problem, I was about six feet above the water, I managed to climb down, fish close to freedom a few times and then ping!

The top few inches of my very expensive Japanese Plugging rod come sliding down the line towards me and the rod has become slightly shorter than when it left the factory  ; ( 

Oh well at least I didn't break my leg or my neck! 

Stay tuned sport fans......
