Had a day out with a couple of mates, trolling for the most part , north east of Moreton Is.
Things were pretty quiet , except for this one little fishy.
We were just discussing swapping out the old trembler that we were running at shotgun when it went off like a frog in a sock!
I had the go pro running at the time and while the footage is not spectacular I was able to check the duration of this first incredible run. just short of 2 minutes at full bikkie. I had upped the drag on the TLD 25 to near sunset to stop him from reaching Bribie!
We all thought that we were on to something spectacular, and while this wahoo was a respectable 12 kg and 135cm it was also well hooked by my trusty old singles in the hind quarters !
It certainly made for some excitement for a little while, and Timmy capped it off with an A grade gaff shot.
Thanks to Tim and Steve for generously letting me take the first fish of our season ( in Feb??).
( caught on 15 kg in 50m)
Looks like Hoo on the Barbie at a few places tonight.
Cheers
Brendan
