bmar560 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) went down to our usual landbased spot this morning with the girlfriend for a pre-work session. started by jigging a few frogmouth pillies for bait. The day started quite slow, my girlfriend got pulled around by a decent trevally and I think I got done by a trevally too. all went towards the pylons At about 6.45am something tapped on her bait and the thing took off !!! and kept on taking off peeling the 4lb fireline right down to the backing, her drag was already tight and I've upgraded the drag on the stradic to carbontex. Unbelievable !! whatever it was, it was something decent. I managed to land a small trevally model about 30cm+ and she lost a few trevallies later on, she definitely get more hookups than me I'll have to upgrade her rod and reel I think hehe looks like I have to come back with a Tiagra next time around here's a footage of the fish taking off, watch the line turning from pink fireline to mono.

gretsch Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Wooo hoooo... gotta love the feeling. I reckon you hooked a shark or a massive ray. A king probably would have stolen all the line and run much faster. Edited October 23, 2007 by Ceph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest squido Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Lol.... U guys like 'spooling'? I can give lessons if u want.....'cause i've had a few....! Hooked 3 Kings landed 2 58&61cms but i Didn't use 4lb,it's kinder if you are intending 2 C&R to use a heavier line.The fish will be healthier & fitter if the fight is short & sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Dan Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 well done mate, that was awesome footage. Rob (kingsrule) Your becoming the local legend down there at CG mate, you'll have to start up tours soon if your not careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmar560 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 She was enjoying every moment of it Iceman she got sore arms and her heart pumping from all the adrenaline rush Ali, I'll be there Friday weather permitting.. the Branzino is still locked away in my cupboard Matty... I'm not letting her catch a fish on it before I do Squido, I got 12lbs on the rod I was using.. I might have to upgrade her whole outfit or do a swappy with me since she's getting all the hookups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloosh Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Mario, ive been at work, and the only thought goin thru my head is the sound of the reel screamin, you know the effect a screamin reel has on me more than most . yeah weather permitting, friday morning it is . speakin of which, i gotta put new line on my spooled reel Edited October 23, 2007 by Aloosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest squido Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Mario did not see any little green hooks but im sure that your girl had hooked a king or monster trevor .i saw the tail beats on the rod tip ,although unusual 4 a King it ran pretty straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
