reports just witnessed by yours truly may see a new record for the heaviest leatherjacket caught in pumicestone passage this evening,,,,5.2 KILOS,,,,,,sue & david seaway were testing out a new boat they had recently purchased, by drifting around the bribie bridge on the turn of the tide, when apparently sue noticed her rod begin to take on a nice bend,,,,she thought that a ray/crab may have taken kindly to her bait of prawn, but upon lifting the rod, she felt the weight and quickly dismissed the thought,,, it was here that a mild panic set in as she was only fishing with 6lb line, and a no 6 long shank designed more for whiting, and did not expect in her wildest dreams to fluke a jacket the size that had attached itself to her outfit,,,,,hubby was at loss on what to do, as not being the experienced fisho that we all are, immediatley grabbed a gaff, that still had the protecting rubber stopper over the point, and successfully managed to land a hit and hauled it on board,,,,,,excited over their catch they returned back to the ramp and called in the appropiate people to validate it,,,,,it was here under the flood lights they found in the contents of a pocket,, a zippo lighter engraved "To peter, with love Paula"",,, if any one belongs to this jacket,, sue & david will happily return it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Have A Good April Fools To 1 And All,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,choppa,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
