Was waiting for Cx outside the toilet when there was a hookup.
Only jus started abt 10 mins and so fast a fish?!?
Ran back and started to fight my first fish of the day!


Being inexperience and first time fishing there, the fish manage to play dirty and went to the snags beside my bungalow.
Was fighting it for abt ten mins when i finally see it surfaced for 1 sec and off it dive towards the snag…and my first miss of the day.
