Thread: 63cm Mangrove Jack! They keep on coming!

    63cm Mangrove Jack! They keep on coming!

    Went out tonight with a good mate fishing for jacks and anything that pulls some line. We fished a few spots before hitting our favorite. It was looking to be a slow night, but first cast at old faithful the Gloomis and core 50mg were screaming. Heavy drag and a lot of thumb pressure managed to turn this fish... just. It then did a big run like a 90cm thready would into open ground. Boy was I lovin' that. After another minute of frantic drag runs and gaining line kyle said: 'I think its 65cm plus' (lol troy) as it surfaced to show the true size of this beast.

    Comfort lift it onto the concrete and a quick measure, a few photos and it went off to fight another day. Only to have our very next cast get destroyed. Kyle then had a real battle on his hands but after a solid minute of brutal runs the 20lb leader wore through.

    Still, fish of a life time for me. Don't think ill beat this in the wild for quite some time. Pretty stoked.

    Enjoy

    Lol pretty sure i didnt call 65+ this time....but i did say "thats a fukn big fish".

    No need for a brag mat shot, anyone who has half a clue can tell thats a big fish from the shots provided.

    Again congrats mate, it was cool seeing it all unfold.

    Ps the highlight of the night was meating troy and jason, i can just tell we will all be best friends in no time lol.
