Hi Guys,
I went Bream and Pig fishing early Sunday morning to a fave rock ledge of mine.
I burlied hard for an hour or so before first ligh and was pleasently suprised when I saw a big blue groper swimming around.
Totally unprepared, I drop a whole prawn on a 1/0 french and hook up to a beast of a fish.
The fish ran hard towards an outer reef, then he turned and ran straight back at me.
With barely no swell I was able to manouver myself up and down the ledge to tire the fish out.
I washed him onto a lower ledge, jumped down and gilled him.
He was over 70cm and official weight was 7.8kg.
I've caught other groper, but this is my first over 3kg, and my first off the rocks.
Maybe COTM?
