DieHard Enters FW Jnr. Comp.

hello people.

 

I was so Bored this morning i decided to go for a fish. i got my gear ready and off i went this time i took the camera for maybe a picture to go into the comp.

 

i went for 4 hours and got 4 fish X) It started of very.. slow where i kept on bringing in weed. finally i nibble so i jump up to my feet and grabbed it gently i felt these small bites then i jerked back and set the hook. after quite a little fight i caught about a >25cm King George whiting my first and a PB! it was about another 30 mins and i was ready to move to another spot when i was reeling in i got a big whack! and then i felt no movement what so ever i thought to my self hmm  another  piece of weed well i was wrong i never knew seaweed swam away from rocks. as my fish was next to the rocks it tried to bail but i just lifted it up :) and there it was my !first ever! Flounder! it came just under >30cm. i was stoked trembling to get the camera this time not just letting it go like the KG *ching* *ching* a couple of pics then i let it go back and swim to fight another day now i was pumped. about hour later i was feeling bored again very bored casted a piece of squid into the wind and it carried it out. soon is it hit the bottom nibble nibble i jerk back and set the hook again i thought it was another KG but it was a Sand whiting. now i was waiting my whole life for another bite it all went so quite and i was really giving up. i thought just a little longer and then a VERY small nibble nibble and then my reels drag went ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz  so i tightened up and i was fighting something very! powerful i didn't even know what it was and it was going everywhere literally my rod tip was nearly touching my reel as it is light action and about 5 mins it was landed a nice FIRST EVER Skippy which sets a very impressive PB i estimate just around 1.5kg it was a good fish fought super hard and a couple of times it went under the rocks and i was so nervous that me braid would just slice on the rocks but it didn't. i got 1 picture of it as i didn't want it out off water long so i quickly unhooked and watch it dart off (the picture really does not show the actual size of it Swear in my life)... and that was me for the day i packed up with a huge smile on my face and went home now I'm ready for another trip to the Light House and share another story with FW members.

 

Thanks if you could please put these 2 fish (if it is allowed) into the 13 & Under Fishwrecked Junior competition.

 

I really hope that i can go again some time!!!!
