Kiwi Dan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) the first fish i connected too would of been close to the 1mtr mark put a really nice bend in my 25kg jigg stick but the knot i tied was a rush job and didnt hold up Unlucky on that knot mate, I watched you through that battle, it definitely pulled hard. I got dusted 5 times on Saturday, ended up landing 9. Majority of mine were caught on squid. Nice work landing the 90cm model. I thought Steve was going to get you to swim back after the failed knot!! Edited January 18, 2010 by Kiwi Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roosterman Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It was a great day out even though it was very hard fish wise. We covered alot of ground and mostly found rats like alot of others. Very different to my last few trips that's for sure. We got dusted a couple of times and that failed knot woulda easily been a mtre+ king & is always a bitter pill to swallow when gear failure is reason for losing a good fish. Hopefully a hard but valuable lesson was learnt mate. One of the reasons I use heavy duty sampo's is I can make leaders etc at home and redo as many times till I'm 100% happy and when on a hot bite it's only seconds to change rigs. Congrats on the 90cm kingy. I got a Bonnie out near bluefish and immediately bled/iced as I wanted to try it sashimi. I no longer consider them baitfish. Yummo. Also smoked some. Dan I thought about it but he's young an fit and didn't have enough juice to go out to the fads,luckily he redeamed himself with a nice kingy. was good to catch up on the water, have to get out soonfor a fish mate. Cheers steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
