    I had a similar but not quite as epic an experience many years ago off the rocks at Lang cove except I was fishing for snapper and caught a monstrous ray. When I finally tired it enough to get it into the edge of breaking waves on the one bit of sand adjacent, I had a torch on it to see what it was. At a good 5 or 6 ft span its eyes followed me as I approached. I let it have a good half of the 60lb shock leader. Awesome fish and it was just daring me to step into it's waters.

    Well done on the bronze.
    stingray, Woody and Micky Duck like this.
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...
