lift n retrieve, vs hook n run,,,,,,,

[choppa]

pop came and got me this morning for a quick trip to the secret spot,,,,he's been avoiding me the last few trips due to me having some asthma/flu/runny nose bug,,, anyhow we got there and another fisho was already set up using fresh caught prawns, but wasn't doing much,,,

pop set up my rod and loaded it with a piece of fresh tailor and cast it out,, when all of a sudden,, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,, truly the bait hadn't had time to get wet,,, and a nice breambo pounced on it,,,,,

pop was trying to teach me a new trick,, by showing me about ,,,,, lift and wind,, then lift and wind,, by the time i figured out what he was doing a fat bream was lying at me feet,,, 1 for me,,,,,none for pop,,

pop had his rod in nxt with his secret bream bait loaded,,, then he cast mine back in with another tailor strip,,, i went hunting for a stick to rest me rod on when,,,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,, it took off again,, pop handed me the rod,,, lift and wind mate,,lift and wind,,

bugger that i thought, this fish was trying to pull me in,, not me trying to pull it in,,, so i thought to myself

I HOOKED IT,,, NOW RUN,,,,, and the outcome speaks for itself,,, ohh i caught 5 more this way,, pop kept saying something about skulldragging em,,, he kept 2 for tea, and the rest are back in the drink,,,

pop did catch 1,,, lift and wind i thought to myself,,,what a laugh,,

[finga64]

That's the way Chop Jnr. Don't give them fish a fighting chance. Drag them in as fast as possible.
Did ya just run or did ya wind and run little matey??
You better show Pop how to fish one day.
Nice flatties for tea... yum
Can't wait to read the story when/if a fish does pull Chop Jnr into the briney.
