Ripper Mud snap mate well done. At that size they certainly go hard on the light gear. Top effort :thumbup:

I am still to catch a good snap on my bait caster to see how the fight goes without drag noise and thumb control but still none. Good snapp for a quick flick. I seem to get the big ones in the first few drifts. I never get a good fish after hours of drifts long into the night. Cheers good fish.

Thanks Mate...that reel is a shimano curado spooled with 8lb sunline super PE braid.I dont usually use baitcasters only for dam fishing in which the curados handle big barra with ease.
