Big DHU off Ocean Reef

 I was out fishing with a couple of fellas from work (Chris and Pitty) Monday off Ocean Reef and was lucky enough to jig up an 18.3kg (weighed it bled at home) Dhu that went right on 100cm. Needless to say I was absolutely pumped and there may have been some hysterical cries of "get the net" when it came up and realised how big the fish actually was. It was all photos and high fives for a while but then it was Chris and Pitty's turn to catch something. They both managed to catch a reasonable dhu and blackarse (all bait) each over the next couple of hours which they were pretty stoked with. Went home with 2 dhu and 2 blackarse in the esky. Was a really memorable day out.

 I haven't caught all that many fish on jig but this time the shout lighten with squid assists did the job.
