        What a great memory to have and to share!  One of these days when you slow down  :D, I expect to see a book on your life.

              I guess the question is: Are you in better shape after wrestling 40-70kg tuna or doing the prescribed physio exercises?

              Would be a great conversation to overhear with your physiotherapist.

                I think I am in better condition.  I got a shit load of exercise and ate very well - mostly fish :p-)

                But I pushed my body to the limit (and a bit further at times) and had very little sleep, Well I grabbed a rests whenever I could….

                And I am still totally knackered, I got up at 03:30 yesterday morning and having a 15 hour door to door journey did not help.  The best bit about the journey was the taxi drive from the Medina in Tangiers to the airport, Tangiers is on curfew from 21:00 - 05:00, so we had the rods effectively to ourselves….

                My hip did not play up once, so I think it was good for me.  I see the physio Tues - probably for a bollocking  🙂

                  @Giles , This is an excellent expedition and story. Thanks for sharing. When i was young we had a boat and would go out from Sea Isle City, NJ. a couple miles out. We never came back with anything similar, but had a boatload of flounder, bluefish and weak fish, and an occasional shark.

                          +1, very cool. My arms and back hurt just looking at them 😃 I'm surprised such a small boat is used with those huge fish but that seems a lot more fun than a larger vessel.

                          Think it, be it.

                                In Portugal trying to catch Bass.

                                Found a great section of coast, and had a couple of hits to topwater lures (but did not hook up).  Getting to and from it was a little sketchy…..
