cunno27 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Came home from work and assessed the weather, conditions were not ideal but decided to head out anyways! Got down to the rocks and found a nice cunji bed and went to town on it. As I was cutting it up into bite size chunks the rain came bucketing down and wind started blowing but didn't let it get me down and decided to battle on. Found a nice little rock platform and ended up with a snag on my first cast but still didn't get me down. After lots of bites, more snags and afew pesky rock cods I decided to change spots and moved to a different platform that had plenty of wash. Berlied up with a hand full of bread and flung some more cunji out, felt a good bite then BANG I was on! Knew it was big as the line peeled off the reel. Music to my ears! After a few decent runs my heart was pounding knowing I was only using 9lb mono I would have been gutted if I had gotten busted off. I thought it would have to be a decent groper before landing it on a bed of cunji to discover this monster pig!! Ended up going 55cm blowing my old PB out of the water, literally. After that I called it quits and headed home grinning from ear to ear :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
