Its just a case of which fish,personally ive gone for the Bass,last time i looked it was 3-3,think it was the smooth hound also on 3 votes.
Curious,ill have to look it up again.
YEP,8-6 IN FAVOUR OF THE BASS.

Difficult choice, but a 12lb Smoothound from S.W.Scotland has got to be a great result.

And a new P.B gets my vote

all good fish but that smoothound would have put up one hell of a scrap

It was a weird one! Not much of a fight for the first 20 seconds or so but then it started fighting and had to use my drag a few times and let it tire itself out before I got it in the drop net. Actually broke my drop net! I salvaged some of the parts and made a new one this evening with copper pipe. Hopefully will hold up better whenever I end up next using it

That dropnet looks the {bees knees}with the copper pipe.

ps,did Jodie {knit}the net onto the copper pipe,that also looks a {bees knees} job.

Thanks Reg.

No all my handiwork! The netting I got off ebay was short by 6 inches or so but I made it work. Had some left over pipe so made some pirks (top left of the photo). Not sure if they'll work but I'll give them a go when I'm on the charter boat next weekend

The perks should be fine, but it may be worth sticking some foil on them. Good luck.

Well done to James who's bass just wins it by one vote
