As the title says Alex caught a wahoo today weighing in at 13kg caught on 10kg line for a junior state record. Beating the previous record of 12.4kg. As the day went, it was very long and really hard to find the billies. Lures out and after the first wahoo which was about 10 and a half kgs on 37kg line so a no go for us. 2 hours later with the big gear out a wahoo bit every lure and finished on the 10 and hooked up. Alex was quick to jump and grab the rod and a 10 minute fight to subdue the monster.
Was a great day with 2 Wahoo and raising 2 bills.
Well done my little man ...same again tomorrow!!
