Mack Tuna on light gear

[gone_phishin]

Went for a run with the wife and young bloke just off Bundy and to say the Mac's were firing would be an understatement:o, so out with the light gear and into 'em. Wife ended up complaining for 2 days about sore shoulders, arms, wrists, fingers:'(. Her last fish took 35 minutes to land on 3kg Pretest with a 20lb Jinkai leader, on a little old Shimano Navi attached to a Silstar Crystal Powertip 3-6kg rod, and went 6.37kg. Damn good fight;D

Young Josh had a monster mack on for an hour and a quarter until she bolted to the surface with a big whaler right behind. Shark skin and 3kg line don't mix good and the last we saw of the Mack was it just keeping ahead of the shark as they disappeared across the bows. The grease in the Navi melted and was running out from under the spool:-/

Tons of fun for the day though!!

Hey Jeff

Elle was hunting for the subs at Awoonga but didn't see any:o though there was a little white boat that came and buzzed around the lake for a few hours on Saturday night taking flash photo's of his deckie instead of fish...to make it LOOK like he was catching fish;D

Elle only picked up this bubby though:-/...didn't even make it into her Top Ten
