A Jewfish between friends - rememory - 06-18-2001
This particular fishing tale unfolded during the 1995 Fishing Classic when I set off with my best friend ‘carrie’ (my two year old rottweiler) to try our luck.<br><br>We set down camp at the extreme end of the beach. I baited my hooks with whole Pilchards. It was just on dusk when I realized I had a winner and it wasn’t a Tailor.<br><br>I battled for over 2 hours before landing the biggie! A monster Jewfish on my old faithful Alvey reel.<br><br>The next day at the weigh-in I stood 10ft tall, convinced I had won the Classic. My fish weighed in at 14.6 kg. Alas my victory was to be short lived when my good friend and <br>worthy opponent Jim beat me at the post with his Jewfish weighing in at 14.9 kg.<br><br>What we didn’t realize at the time was that we had been fishing at opposite ends of the same beach.<br><br>We shared the victory together as we took out 1st and 2nd place in the Classic.<br><br><br>Submit your Fishing Adventure Stories to win great prizes at ReMemory.Com
