good one
Have a Diawa haramasa 63b overhead model, looks like a stick , wieghs 215 grams from memory
so far got some middling sambos and a 10kg metro mack on it , but going on your effort it can take a bit more.
bring on some lineburners haha.
well done , the first run must have been a hippo howler ( remember peter pottamus, a cartoon)

Decent fish!

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.

Your gear looks the goods
Have a mate that has the same outfit as you Crusty, i doubt that he has the ability to catch anything like that.

Thanks for the comments
Thanks for the comments guys. I had to lock him up a bit more than I normally would as the previous onr of around 10k got sharked in a big way. I could feel the blank bending through the reel seat.
@ Bitten .. think you might be on the money there mate .. I put it down for 24k (50lb) to be safe though.. you know what fisho's are like heheh
@ Quadfisher.. mate, I put it on par with the 25k GT's we caught out of Cooktown. Only diff might be that the GT's go right to the bitther end ..
Cheers
