Looks like a Shimano of sorts... 'gosa/Stella?

Hope that hammer could make use of the left eye after that pic :hehe:  they are tough buggers...

Must have been a GREAT fight!

Think he uses a Stella 18k. Was quite amazed at the gnashers on that thing.

That's a beast of a fish that :rck" (clap).......especially off the beach, I have hooked a few over the years on a boat which easier than on the beach because you can chase the fish.............we call them NFL's   'no f*kken land'

I think the reel is the new Penn Slammer.

It is Barry's Son, anything but Shimano is a swear word in that family. Definitely a Stella (looks like a 20 000). Former junior Protea and made KZN B in his first year as a senior. Eats, drink and sleep fishing.  As Reefs says, fast making a name for himself.

On the Freespool show last night Blayne went to grab a raggie by the tail and the moment he touched it, the shark turned on him and gripped his hand. He was able to wrestle his hand free.
Amazing the speed the fish turned. I actually missed it entirely, it was so fast and couldn't understand why he was gripping it by its mouth  :hehe:

It really is amazing how what looks like huge slab of fat can spin itself around so quickly!

Whilst trying to unhook a raggie at Maphelane the fish snapped at my hand and actually managed to clamp onto the hook remover which is only about 30cm long :cnfzd Needless to say I continued with even more caution
