finaly cracked the mulloway 22kg

spent many hours chasing this little guy finaly got him easy as

fishing a gutter i found a week ago which i caught 2 small mulloway and 2 wobbegong which i posted on fish wrecked

arrived at the beach about 4 rigged up and had my line in by quater past high tide at 4:30 this after noon gutter looked beautiful clean and deep kicked back with a beer having a chat to the young bloke when the rod buckled over, grabbed the rod and nothing, dissapointed, put the rod back in the holder and sat down about a minute later he came back for a second go, GOT HIM!! he took off only had a light drag on he took off took 100m off me straight away, i was getting worried because he had gone around behind the reef, managed to get him back in front of the clear beach, 20 minutes of head banging 3 - 4 good runs i saw a big yellow tail sticking out of the surf about 10 m off the beach took it really easy on him ran down and dragged him up the beach had him only just hooked in the lip. absoulutely stoked jumped around on the beach and celebrated with my boy biggest fish in the world he said haha.

had him on the beach 5pm on the dot so a gruelling 45 minutes of fishing. not including the hours and hours spent sitting on the beach in the dark for nothing but stingrays though.

got a leave pass from the boss tonihgt which was great considering i am back up north for work for 5 weeks tomorow

went 22kg on the bathroom scales

 

cheers guys

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
