Nessie?

[jonahonah]

Got this in a thread in fishing already but i thought people should see it to believe it. This fight was 45 mins on 6lb line, the plants in the foreground are 2ft to give scale. Im sorry it is shakey but holding the rod and doing the drag on the reel and reeling took up most of my fingers.

This is one of those fishing stories that has to be seen to believed, did i hook nessie?

By the way this was shot in a small lake in toronto

You have to sort out the "wind in micro " issue..

Did you keep the snapper? I would love to get hold of one of those again....
