    Report on-board Size Matters

    They say lighting never strikes in the same place twice, well it did today on Brigand.
    After that monster tope yesterday of 67lb 3oz caught by Tony, he starts the day off with a tope of 43lb followed by another big tope length 67 inch, girth 25 inch = 52lb 3oz very good fish. I then got my fishing head on and landed the biggest tope I have ever seen. At one point we had to let over 300ft of rope out on the anchor just to keep up with it. After an epic fight we had it on deck it was a team effort with the net it just about fitted in. It tipped the scales at 72lb in the net, the length was 67 inch and girth was 29 inch = 70lb 4oz!!! The photo does not do the fish justice!! I am made up with the size of the tope we are getting!!! Big thanks to tony for his help.
    Now that's the boat record!!!

    Cheers
    Kev
