Headed out originally to the Yarra with Big Gav and Trebalzzz to see what the river could produce at around 8:30am.
Gav had the Midas touch and pulled in a good carp and nice eel. We headed off to the Plenty river to hit up some more carp and eels and Gav managed another eel.
Then just before the grand final was about to start, the other boys decided to fish on, and I headed back to my car, but I decided to give our first spot another quick cast in the hope of at least having a bite or a hookup. About 5 minutes after my first cast I hooked a big eel with a lot of pull. I couldn't get him to surface and before I knew it, SNAP I forgot to set my drag!!! Anyways, at least I had a bit of fight and got my fishing fix, but had to drive to folks place in Templestowe to watch the game as a compromise.
