Ian, wrists are fine, being light leaders i couldnt put too much pressure on the fish
I was referring to the strain from holding such big fish up to the camera but good to hear you pulled through unscathed

Seriously mate
3lb leader.
Why not try for sharks on whiting gear next time lol

Nice catches tho mate
im geared to fish finesse mate, so it was only fair i upped the ante a little bit..
next time i will give the whiting gear a go on the sharks, just for you mate.
