Thread: 1.3m yak spano

    1.3m yak spano

    Went for a quick pre work paddle with ant this morn. Things were looking a bit grim with the surf and wind up a bit. Plus Ant had a spot in his hatch by the time we had to go back in. I was staring down the barrel of a donut, when zing double hook up. I was pretty confident they were spanish after a few long runs. So i gaffed and stowed the 1st and proceeded to tackle the 2nd. It was big really big. After 30mins it was looking like i would be late for work, so i upped the drag and after another 10mins the hook pulled. He was a lot bigger than the one i landed but i was happy he swam away as i would have released him anyway. On the way in i flaked a spot just to ice the cake. Fun times with Ant.

    Wow, once again great effort. I can imagine it would be pretty easy to be spooled with a double hook up like that!

    Carnster,
    Thats the same size I got on ANZAC Day, & it was a battle standing upright, with gunwhales to lean against. Doing that on a yak is unbelievable!

    Last mac I seen you on nearly had you over the side, might have to hand the rod to Carnster to show you a thing or two. I would stow away to pick up some tips from the yak trolling king for sure.
    Carnster you troll far off the shore? It would be trippy sitting out the back on my board watching a guy rip in massive macs like that from a yak 50 meters away.

    Maybe we could troll Carnester behind the boat as a paravane Mossy ? Catch is a catch mate

    I have caught them just outside the breakers and also way out for a yak, probably 5km offshore
