Captor’s Comments:

This was my first 30lb fish i had caught. It was a drop back and when i got out of my bivi the indicator had started goin back up slowly like the fish didn't even know it had been hooked. It had been raining all day and through the night so i was soaked while playing the fish and when i landed the fish it didn't think i was wet enough so it gave me a second shower.
