What a fish well done mate always a pleasure watching your videos no matter how long the wait. My sincerest condolences to you and all the family at these tough times but as you said what a parting gift an the timing to be shining on you for that fish stay safe and strong for your family mate 💙🎣
Loved the video, Matt and the tope was special along with the smoothies. That estuary is noted for the tope turning up and back in the '50 +' 60s the veteran school teacher, Clive Gammon and marine biologist would fish the Bury Holmes estuary mouth at low tide and was brilliant at catching tope and other species. On some sessions he would catch on mackerel and blank on the tope other days. When he did land a Tope he gutted it to find out what the fish had been feeding on and discovered a belly full of small flounders. Hence why they turn up on that estuary. Fished CefnSidan decades ago and always got wound up by Clive about our trips. A brilliant all round angler who spent time in the USA. He published some great books along with the Welsh sea angling guide. Rip Clive. ❤😊
Thank you for the informative comment, Fredrick. I have also been told there is a bay at West Hook where Tope are caught using Flounder in and around the early autumn. I will look into to Clive and his literature this weekend. Thanks mate.
Clive was a respected New York based international sports journalist. And not to mention.... Welsh fishing legend. Dave Lewis ( Sea Angler Magazine) often cites in his articles his various lifetime fishing sorties with Clive Gammon eg fishing in Ireland or boat fishing you name it Clive (and Dave) did it.
Emotional is not the word .. fantastic catch and catches like this happen for all the right reasons, your father in law would have been proud, god bless him👍
Condolences on your loss. What a fish though!!! Congratulations on the end of your 4 year hunt. I've had great success on ur 4/0 circles lately, imo the best circles on the marked. Will be ordering some line shortly to give a go with a hoody and cap. Tight lines 🎣😊
