Such a beautiful fish, I can only image the first run! Well done Cheers scratchie!!! We saw a fish jumping about 1 km from the boat so we turned around and worked the area, looked like they had gone and then we hooked upNot sure if it was the same fish since they swim in schools Hope you get one congats mate well done cheers garyHi GaryBiggest fish so far so I am stoked but I think it is even more special if you do it on your own boat Only used the riggers once sofar but they work really well. Had issues with the rubberbands breaking In Vanuatu they used dacron to connect to the riggers which they advised is better, what do you think? Nice fish. We head back over next Saturday and Hayden is keen to have a go for a sailfish.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangus Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hey David we got a couple of jelly bean yft that's all 10 kilo range and also when your rubber bands break I usually use two rubber bands when one isn't holding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
