Those old snoek handliner guys I met at Hout Bay in the early 70's were serious guys. Great Respek! I guess tungsten gloves weren't around then?

Willie - That young lady has probably caught more fish than you and I put together in her 11 years of life.... she's got fish blood coursing through her veins I can promise you..... I've seen pics of a 40 kilo Bronzie she whipped on 10 kilo in about 20 minutes.... Those Vixen's can fish!!!!Originally Posted by will101
