    Default PB Salty.

    Got this one fishing for GT's. It didn't take more then one or two clicks on the T-Curve Blue Water Spin and Spheros 14000 but the pulling power was insane and had me saying GT until it broke the surface. I wouldn't have landed it if I didn't fight it they way I did. Fish was released as it's closed season.

    I hooked 25-30 GT's ranging from 10-40 odd kgs with not a single one landed. I sight casted a few of them. I don't think I've ever had more fun losing so many fish in my entire life. Was fishing as locked drag as the clicker would go with 50lb braid and 130lb leader. Two hands on the fore grip pulling as hard as I physically could. Even though some didn't take an inch of line it bust offs are almost always certain. Hopefully be back there soon.

    Ran out of Black Magic KS 5/0 so a 4/0 Gamakatsu Octopus was sent down only to be straightened after 10 seconds on a beast.
