Out fished by the missus
Went for a gander down at a Rokko boat ramp last night on sunset and bumped into Moking and also had a chat to another fisher who just came in from the sound. Wasn't going to go out fishing but I convinced the missus to race home, get the boat and see if she could catch her first ever snapper.
We headed out at 7:30pm and was quickly smashed by a squal that came through which had the boat rocking and rolling and I was sure the missus was going to start heaving on the deck. She normally gets sea sick in the swimming pool. Once it passed and the rain settled I put two rods out and we started the wait. About 30 minutes in her rod started peeling line and she swooped on it like a seagull on a chip.. now the tricky part came into play, how to coach her on what to do with a big fish without treating her like a little kid and thus landing myself in the shite.. well she played that fish like a boss and soon I had the gaff in hand it was on the surface.. A quick swipe from me, a loud shreak from her and it was on the deck and my fishing future was secured.
Her first ever pinkie went 890mm and just on 8kg. We were so stoked with that one fish for her we packed up and went home..
Happy days team....

Know the feeling
Very regularly outfished by my missus - but it is what keeps her coming back and therefore I do not mind.

Sandy is consyantly outfishing me but without me putting us on the fish {when we got a boat running that is } she couldnt catch anything so in theory the xkipper gets the fish
