I got lucky

[ActiveAngler]

So the scene was set, Pete rolls up at 4.30 am and we roll our way to the ramp, only to wait a half hour with the bugs before there was enough water to launch. Heading out, we run into a mate, who'd spent the night out, for one 45cm grunter, and a million bug bites. Anyhoo, we planned to hopefully get lucky by running a few pots for a Muddie, and have a quick fish, in by 10. So the pots went in, and fish we did, Pete opening up with a near legal grunter, then getting towelled up by a blistering run from a thready. We laughed a lot(well i did) Anyhoo, i managed a little trev, and then a nearly legal grunter,when petes reel screamed again, and with his line scything away from the bank, we were in with a chance. A short battle ensued, and i netted a nice little thready which was destined to try win Melanie over if the crabbing failed. Iced down we fished again for a while.... Then this happened.



Without doubt my luckiest capture. Tide was topping so we ran the pots, happy we had a feed, and eventually we nabbed one nice buck and we headed for home and a coffee(beer). Just about to clean the fish and chill the fillets, pretty happy that i got so lucky, and im pretty sure with taking the crab home to Mel, Pete will be feeling the same.

It's gonna take some beating mate that's for sure. You couldn't script this for a tv show. I figured she'd be sleeping at a friends tonight.

From the first few minutes of that video, with all the scratching Pete was doing I take it you got plenty of crabs!
