mate we called him for 50kg , had a great session
all up we raised 8 fish , 4 solid hookups, Deegs had a shit run , couldn't keep the hooks in and cut off on one , I got totally smoked on 37kg on a fish well in excess of 200+kg , could have cooked some eggs on the Tiagra , couldn't get the other lines , teasers etc cleared quick enough to give chase , down to the last wraps on the reel , would'nt be surprised if it was a blue , we were in about 90 mtrs off Hellbee Bank doing about 8.5knts heading home , didn't have a hope of slowing him down , going apeshit on the surface jumping away into the distance Yeehah ,

photo of the month contender ha Goatch
hopefully they are given away 37kg pre test ha Goatch. Just jokes the reel is already re spooled with some more 37kg hopefully don,t get spooled before gamex or the misses might go off like that marlin.
