Great pleasure to wet a line on My Way 2 last week, with one of angling's true gents on board, Mike Thrussell. Here he is, showing us youngsters how it's done - https://goangling.co.uk/watch-as-mike-thrussell-snr-lands-a-17lb-smoothhound/

I thought i was going to get thrown overboard when i asked how best to cook the one i caught off pompey !why some people get hysterical over lower life forms is strange

[Elton]

Question is, did you cook it? And, if so, was it worth the death stares?

[chesters1]

No i was forced to chuck it back under the eyes of about 8 people ! I am fat but i am not stupid the sea isnt deep where it was caught but the currents are a bit dicey .

Honest cannot see why people fish for them the fight was unremarkable more like dragging up a carrier bag filled with water but the water was only shallow prob 18 feet deep

It reminded me of the disapointing fight of a 39 lb catfish ,it sorta just gave up and swam over!

I've only caught one catfish, which was about 20lb and in really shallow water - it went mental!
