Well done Midnight, the whole thing you describe is what both fascinates me
and scares me about pole fishing. I had that short spell of whip fishing a
few weeks ago and it was enjoyable for small fish but if I had hit anything
with some real fight I would have had adrenaline pouring out my ears I think
which is not a bad thing other than it seeming to give the fish a greater
than 50/50 chance with little advantage to the angler. Might be I am just
old fashioned I guess.

My next trip is Wednesday and I am taking the wife for her bi-annual trip
but not too sure how long she will last as it is supposed to be wet and
cold.

Well, made up for the blank today, a nice 11lb'er on tens elastic and 3lb
line, through the weeds and onward, but i refused to give in and landed it
(after about 10 mins or so). All in all a nice day.
Hope your luck was equal.
