Fishing berry head and hooked into a massive fish

[@mrbonoff99]

I fish berry head all the time, so very interesting to see this video. I had a similar thing happen. Was using a slosh 20, 30lb mono, whole mackerel head. Completely quiet, no bites for an hour and then some small tippy tappys. Pulled into the bite and felt the initial pulling for 2/3 secs (you could tell it was a monster from the head shakes) then it just started taking line (also fully locked up drag) and after 10 seconds took me into a snag Convinced that there are some monsters lurking there, as the depth of water there is much deeper than anywhere else for miles. Also have lost a double figure bull Huss on the surface there that fought like an absolute beast, it snapped my 30lb snood to the hook. Definitely using heavy mono/ wire from now on lol

I am glad it’s not just me mate, I am definitely going down again, armed with wire trace, I was using 150lb mono trace, the head shakes felt like a eel but not sure, I have spoken to a few people about it and said it could of been a tope but will never know, I think I will be fishing it abit more :)

@@Mallensfishingadventures mate I have been back out there tonight, and got smashed by an absolute monster. Managed to get it out of the bottom but it did a run…fully locked up drag on a 8000 size spinning reel and was screaming line…swam right underneath the platform in the end and cut my 90lb braid off, literally the biggest fish I have ever hooked into, couldn’t do a thing but just hold on for dear life 🤣🤣 I honestly have no idea what it is, but would’ve been a lifetime PB, gutted 🤣🤣

I reckon it was a big conger, I've never seen a fish strip line like that

[@Mallensfishingadventures]

Mate, I can’t stop thinking about it, that was a big fish.

I'd be very shocked if they were trawling, probably just returning to brixham, but then again nothing surprises me these days

[@Mallensfishingadventures]

The video didn’t show it but at least two of the trawlers that went past had there nets down still and I know one of them was going around the bay with the nets down. Like I said I know they got to make a living and with today’s living but yeah I do think there should be a law in how close they can fish but that’s just my opinion.
