Additional Info: After three fishless nights, being smoked out by forest fires and a biblical thunderstorm I awoke questioning my choices after sitting in a swim with very few fish as on the first day I had seen a monster breach in the distance. With nothing but a single bleep through the night it looked like a move was on the cards. As I stepped out of the bivvy I noticed my right hand rods line was now all the way to the left of my swim. Convinced I had been 'done' I began reeling it in to recast, but there was still a fish on the end. After a twenty minute fight it went into the net and I could tell it was a special one.
