The Queen ! ;D She used to chuck a mean wet line in pursuit of them Highland Salmon, in her younger days of course ! I never seen any pics of her baiting up a 3 hook rig with squid and lobbing out her 5 oz grip 150yds, but I could be wrong ! ;D  |

The British record salmon of 64lbs was caught on the Tay by Miss Georgina Ballantine in 1922

There was a famous female angler around in the Devon Cornwall area in the 60s. So famous I can't remember her name! Doh.
However she broke the Mako shark record in 1966 with a 498lb fish!!!
And to prove that wasn't a fluke she went on to break another British record. I think it was the Whiting record but I could be wrong. She was also a full member of the British Conger Club.
All this when she was a grandmother in her 60's.
