Captor’s Comments:

I saw splashes just down the side of the reeds next to me so I just dropped down a free line dead bait and waited a few minutes before I had a violent take. It went flying out to the open water and when i hit it the fish jumped high into the air. After this the fish came in easy and had the hooks just inside its mouth.
