    For those of you not on sealine who might have been wondering where i had disappeared to, I've been targeting some big ugly nunus with R&S tackle and finally caught my first one yesterday:

    I have seen it happen to a guy we fish with sometimes. He was fishing two rods. First one went. Fought it, landed it, released it, then sat on the beach for a rest and the other rod went down. Eish!

    Well done Grant!
