Sorry for the delay Vern! I did send you a PM for your email but got no reply!!! If you send me your email address ill send them all over to you this week end, my email is on my profile details.

Been away on business all week so first opportunity to upload some pictures.

Fair play to vern, worked hard for this one and was worth the wait!!!! And he stated it was 27lb and was actually a tad over 28, so i will confirm the actual weight was 28lb3oz. Top fishing mate.

Shaun, if you read this, he was using hair rigged hemp, over a bed of memory foam, fished tight lined with 4lb line and 8oz leads size 2 hooks and swam the rigs out the middle!

ian my email addy is vern6822@yahoo.co.uk
