8.5kg Pinky
Got out again last night after last Wednesdays success on the Pinkies. Went solo last night in the same area in 10m. Set anchor and started a burley trail and things started happening within about half an hour with a couple of undersized ones coming up. Then hooked one that had a bit more pull, after a good little tussle I had my first legal one in the net, before the sun had even set. Dropped a couple more, then at around 6pm had a solid hookup. This things initial run had me thinking I was onto a Sambo. Then it stopped, done a couple of big head shakes and took off again. By now the adrenaline had kicked in big time, so got the net ready and took my time slowly working it back to the boat. Had a quick look over the side when I knew it was close and adrenaline spiked again. A big solid Pink!! Managed to net it reasonably easy. Tried to take some pics before Iki and bleed but it didn't turn out great. To say I was stoked is an understatement.
Cheers
Kirky.

Was at the Marmion Angling
That's a ripper pinkie!
Was at the Marmion Angling Club last week and there were 2 groups of guys using drones from the carpark chasing snapper. Not sure how they did but they've got some big fish before.
