EIAO Dog
Submitted by timvb on Fri, 2017-05-12 14:00
The largest dog caught on my trip to EIAO in February caught by Alex Jordan.
Tough going on the dogs with only a handful landed between 5 anglers for the trip. Many fish were hooked though the majority were lost due to sharks, being bricked and the odd terminal tackle failiure. I have come to the conclusion that everything has to go right to land a big one.

I think Alex got him on his
I think Alex got him on his Synit 550 and JM PE7 or 8 running pe8, was + 6 foot and certainly heavy. There were high fives all round when it came up as it was the first big one for the trip.
Despite the difficulty in getting there (Perth-Sydney-Auckland-Papeete-Nuku Hiva + 7 hour steam) if anyone is looking for a location to target big dogs EIAO is the place to go.
