"He's cod cod thumb, No hand, No cod BODY!" haha anyway. usually when i loose a larger boyant lure i wait a while only to find it floatin gon the surface. obviously the cod smashes it on some structure. Smart fish. love that line in cod almighty 1. “He’s cod cod thumb, No hand, No cod BODY!” haha

If you adopt the attitude you are but one cast away from that next monster you are less likely to fall under the she will be right attitude. Maximising opportunities is the first of many one percent factors that help you catch more fish.

If Only I had read this before the 18th of may 2007, Thats the day I felt a small nic in my leader and thought she'll be right for one more pass, minutes later I had what would have been my first meter+ Cod on the line, three big head shakes and "snap" all I got back was about 400mm of leader, busted right about where the nic was, lost a new lure and the plot, kicked myself for weeks for being so lazy. over the last two years i've put many different lures into that snag, But the one that got away has not been so easy to fool a second time. Cheers. …….I willl get one on first, Now who said that ?

Big fish do not come along all that often you need to make the most of every chance you get. Famous last words go along the lines of... I will get one on first and then I will worry about that. To late then get it right first up. Good call Steve,

Another useful tip ( for new anglers ) is to check those first 4 or 5 mtrs of line attached to your leader as they often get small abrasion marks from dragging over rocks etc and can separate like cotton when that fish of a lifetime comes along.
