Banga Brothers
Nothing short of spectacular conditions on the water yesterday arvo, too good to miss so me and Langa bailed from work and headed out.
Cracker 79 cm buck due to Langa PE2 jig, it buried him in the reef after several determined runs. After free spooling and getting him out of the reef, only to have it go straight back in, Langa finally won the battle.
Then I hooked up on my old venerable Tierra 3000 reel with 20 lb leader and KG hooks.....felt like a strong fish, but crapping my dacks with piddly 1/0 hooks and light leader, and once it bricked me in its hidey hole I thought it was all over.....after a lot of swear words, free spooling and some patience I got it out of its hole, a nice 81 cm female. Both fish were identical weight 8.2 kg.

Yeah, felt a bit guilty to be
Yeah, felt a bit guilty to be honest, and 80 cm is about as big as I am happy necking dhuies, after that I prefer to release.
Wont be feeling too much guilt with dhuie on the BBQ tonite though.....
