big Queeny
Submitted by JACKO W on Thu, 2010-11-11 14:59
I was anchored up just a few metres off Fortescue Island and decided to throw a nils master into a small school of big fish with my abu garcia/burkley dropshot graphite rod and on first cast, I hooked one. After 10-15 mins of big runs and unbelievable arial displays, I landed the 12.5kg,1.2m Queenfish !! I was stoked!
