First Barrel for the boat, on the board!

Post by scott__henning » Mon Sep 26, 2016 7:02 pm

Got down to Portland over the weekend fishing in generally sloppy conditions, and managed to boat a 93.5kg Bluefin, the first for the boat!

Naturally, had 2 24kg outfits out as well as a 15kg rod, and whadayaknow the 15kg is the one that got the bite :rofl: (that will happen every time!)

Mate was on the rod, and slugged it out for 3.5 hours to finally boat the barrel!

Great fish, there will be a few meals in that one i'd say!

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
