when we hooked up jesse accidently dropped the lever into free spool, causing a massive birdsnest, i got the rod and startedd to try and get it undone, had the fish jumping right on the spool, got a little out as he was jumping, had to get paul to drive the boat at the fish so it wasnt hard up on the line, nearlt pulled the rod out my hands a couple of times, then i made the call that there was no way i was going to undo it, got paul to help me lay the line right over the birdsnest, then i just workd the fish back to the boat as quick as so he didnt get any more line back out incase it went back to the tangle or we would have ptob done him, was a very lucky capture, had a heap of slack line at one stage with it jumping when we tried to untangle the line. about 5 mintues of absolute caos

No wonder your smiling Matt. Birdsnests are a pain at the best of times.
