Wow Steve, best report, post and thread I have read. Well done & congratulations to all concerned, especially Scott (not sure if Steve was a Stowaway but if he was, hope he tells me his hiding spot , , , , take me, take me, take me).

But what an awesome post on an awesome day out, the best aspect is the mate-ship, it has that "feel good" about it it. Yes, fish are good too but there is more to fishing than just the fish.

This report has everything , , , , the reality that fish are hard to come by and persistence does pay off, the excitement, the surface bust ups, the sharing of info, the throw backs AND the keepers , , , , and what would a fishing story be with out "the one that got away". It even had the Movie Star Sunglasses and the beaming smile , , , , why heck, it even had an Anthony , , , , gotta love the Anthony.

Glad you got a Kingfish tick on your "To do list" , , , , seems another box was ticked

Great post guys

Cheers, Bugatti
Thanks mate. appreciate the Positive Response.
if it weren't for scott asking me to do this report, i would not have bothered doing it. I stopped posting reports on here after a few report threads turned sour with unwanted replies..
Turns out i have an uncanny knack of pissing people off with how i take pics of my catch :rofl: .

Anyway
Theres quite a few more like these (and some absolute pearlers that went south very fast) from my older reports, and also check out reports from broomstick, striplett1997, hawksey fishing and meppstas for a good read and pics..
Theres a few more but i cant remember the names off the top of my head.

i had the oppotunity to have some tuna sashimi when i caught the bluefin at portfairy but i forgot about it as it was getting very late and i had to finish filleting a tuna that i had NFI how to do and there was people waiting in line behind me with more tuna to clean.
i wasnt going to let this chance slip away.


Do it man, it's even better than cooking them up. This bad boy lasted me a few days with about 3/4 given to other campers.

Great report Steve and congrats, Ignore the dimwits you're probably the wrong colour for them (purple is hard to get used to).
