Well.. that was a PIG of a fish!!!! FISHING REPORT

Post by MsShimano » Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:48 pm

Since today was a beautiful day.. I thought why not go for a fish.. to Apollo bay... to hook a barrel...
We started bright and early in the morning.. trolling the west coast.. I had my new TLD out with a lure that my after a few wsponsor gave me. We thought we would run a bit of light gear just in case we hooked some schoolies..
It was nearing 12.30pm and I was hungry.. had a drink and as I bit into my sandwich... it hit!!!!!! The TLD went mental and I had a lot of problems getting the rod out of the rod holder. My amazing crew (for whom I will for ever be thankful for) helped me and guided me.. 45 mins and I had her boat side. I couldn't believe my eyes. After a few gaffs in its head. She was on the boat. Went 120.4kg. I am over the moon to land my first barrel
