Gone fishing day Outing

[purple5ive]

Fellas.
the weather was terrible, but i hope some of you got a chance to wet a line on Gone fishing Day

i had the Obligatory fish to mark the day, the weather had other plans of course, 20knot winds in a small open boat was a terrible idea
But we persevered and got onto around 15 squid. Didnt measure any as they werent monsters but around 6 or 7 were similar sized as pictured. Rest smaller. Released a few small ones as well.

the weather then calmed down enough for me to use sidescan effectively, and i found what i was looking for.
caught a few and called it a day!
This fish went 62cm and took me over 20 mins to land on 6lb line.
My cousin landed his PB at 65cm as well..

Cheers Lads!!
im certainly making good use of the available opportunity, its not everyday that fish of this caliber are available in PPB, lets hope this is a more common occurrence in the future and everyone can get into em..

as kimye said, could have been grabbed by a seal, squid, shark or even hit by a boat prop.. shows how hardy they are..

the one i got mate certainly tested the gear, i was extremely suprised at the size when i seen it as i thought it would be a bigger fish with the way it fought.
you can tell when you hook a biggie, after the tell tale tick in the line and strike it feels like you have hooked a snag for the first few seconds, and then all hell breaks loose..
