    Default GT

    Yep got another one last night. Went way harder then the last one. Stripped a few hundred meters of line. Down to backing on 4 occasions. The first one did one massive run whereas this one did a good 10 or so 50-100m bursts. It was good relive the screaming line off a small bait caster.

    Fish was caught on a soft 6-14lb Shimano Exage rod, Daiwa Millionaire SW 203 reel, 20lb Tuff Line XP braided mainline, 20lb Black Magic Tough Trace leader and a Gamakatsu SL12 2/0 hook.

    The fish took a live Mullet off the surface with an awesome hit. A mate was 50 odd meters down the bank and could hear the line screaming off the reel.

    LOVE LIFE.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah I've got some advice. Don't get pissed around your mates when they have some clippers in hand. Hate my life.

    Nice Work Troy. That would have been awesome hearing the line screaming off...I've only caught GTs half that size and on much heavier gear, and man they pull. Again good work mate!
