Conger - Light Line Class Record Attempt

Friday 5th October - Bill Harkness LIght Line Record Attempt aboard "Gemini" out of Dartmouth - Yesterday, my faith was very much restored in sea angling when I thoroughly enjoyed a day afloat aboard Dave Harrison's Dartmouth charter boat "Gemini".  Bill Harkness, who is already the holder of the 20 lb line class record for a Conger Eel which weighed-in at 86 lbs on 20 line attempted to better his own World, European and British records.  Unfortunately Bill did not succeed in doing so on this occasion, but we did enjoy an interesting and enlightening day together in great company.

I shot some video of our efforts which I have published via YouTube. You can view it here via your Broadband Internet connection, to see what transpired.  Just double left click your mouse on the > play button in the bottom left hand corner of the video screen.
