GT Popping 2

Was knacked from diving and fishing after work yesterday so I layed my weary head down when I got home from work this arvo. A quarter to five the phone rings " You have got to be joking" I said to myself. After a angry "Hello" I discovered it was Alois the owner of the Pohnpei Surf Club. "Get your casting pole (he's Brazilian) and come down the club right now, we're going fishing". Five minutes later I was there, six minutes later we had left the dock, 15 minutes later we were casting. Only took about 20 minutes and I had my first Black Trevally on popper in Pohnpei, not big but a first is a first. A couple of minutes later Alois is on to a bigger fish. Was estimated at about 10kgs. First cast after helping Alois land his fish I'm on again. A better fish this time. Not massive at 7kgs (15lb5) but in a way I was glad it wasn't any bigger, the efforts of the previous day were really kicking in. We left shortly after that to be home before it got too dark. Hopefully no one calls me to go fishing tomorrow as I am well and truly buggered. If someone calls, I'll go because I'm an addict.

Hopefully not anytime soon. There are quite a few species to tick off before I leave.
