New PB...Good Day Jigging!
Submitted by sexton on Thu, 2016-02-11 08:27
Jigged this monster up the other day on a PE3 NS Blackhole Explorer rod, matched up to a 5000 Shimano Sustain reel, spooled up with PE3 Toray Super Strong PE Connected and 40lb Toray Jigging FC leader, the jig that done the damage was a 125g Lamble Bait Haoli king jig.
Epic day!

Wasn't the target species at the time, was trying to jig up a feed of dhuies. I'm not complaining though, I'd rather jig these up than a dhuie haha.
Here's the video footage.

Haha that pretty much sums it
Haha that pretty much sums it up well mate.
Every time I thought I was starting to win the battle it would just tear off again. Hard work to get any line back on the reel but just kept trying to put as much pressure on the fish that the gear could handle and hope the beast would tire it's self out.

Horse there mate -
Horse there mate - particularly on PE3
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.
