GreyNurse Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 An unbeleivably good fish. An inspiration to all fishos. Congratulations. Soak up the praise. You deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGP Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Mate! That is simply stunning! This would take a few saltiga and stella owners back to Earth for shizzle!!!! I'm absolutely shocked by the fact that you get such a beast in relatively shallows, with such a light line + leader (regardless of inappropriate rod + reel). That's a fish you won't forget soon I bet, and a story that personally gives me a shit load of inspiration to get out and face the difficulty of chasing these bad boys in winter! That has to be the most stunning catch I've read of amongst the hundreds I've seen on this site! Congrats Congrats, Congrats you're a fishing lord (to my eyes at least) Wow thanks for the kind words!

AGP Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) You heading out tomorrow mate ? I was out yesterday. Salmon schools are so thick but very focused on micro bait, even more so than usual. Still got a couple. My mate lost a good king on light gear that took a plastic.

lostproperty Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We went out to 12 mile and had a jig. Was ok, managed a few rats and I got a good legal king, mate got busted off but was pretty hard work, few charter boats had better luck with yakkas but nothing over 80cm was pulled in. Couldn't raise much of a strike on the sambos at north head on the way back in, over it by that stage anyway and went home, wind wasn't the greatest today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALI-G Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Cracking fish man, She's a brute!!! Why don't Halco put decent hooks on their lures? Aussie company should make lures able to handle big Aussie fish??? Craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGP Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Cracking fish man, She's a brute!!! Why don't Halco put decent hooks on their lures? Aussie company should make lures able to handle big Aussie fish??? Craziness. Hi mate, Yeah I have now upgraded to owners. The Halco trebles have held up nicely on the usual 60-90cm Kings but this thing pushed the gear to the limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALI-G Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Given, but you were only using light gear. I've lost some big fish on a trip overseas due to their hooks being made of tinfoil. I didn't have any others with me and there are no tackle shops in the Solomons. Apparently indestructible lure bodies, but what about the fkn hooks maaaaan!!!
