Bali Gt

[cronullafisher]

Heys guys,

went for our yearly trip to Bali with a mate, his girlfriend and my missus. Mainly to relax and surf, but i love fishing and so took a rod and some lures away with me.

I researched the charter trips over there and because they target the US and Japanese tourists, they were really expensive. So instead, i paid some local guy about $35 (each with a mate) to go trolling just behind Kuta. Some we were geared with my lures (deep diver and squid-like skirt), two rods, one of which hada left handed real.

As the sun set, i gave my mate the "good rod" and lure and i held the dodgy one with the left handed overhead. Before long i had a massive hit and a good ten minutes later i brough this GT up and into the boat. We didnt weigh it but we reckon it was somehere around the 15 pound mark.

Awesome fun and we had a few guys come up to us on the beach saying they had paid thousands in fishing expos over there and didnt catch a thing. So if your off to Bali, pack some lures, its worth it!!

Nice fish, and what a great looking colour. Good that you did not have to pay for the expensive charter.
