Well what can i say i was stoked enough to get a another 60 two weeks ago so i was all hyped up to hit the same spot last sat night, same condition with it raining hard this time but we put up with it and kept trying for the big red! finally i hooked up solid and it felt big i yelled another 60 staight away to my mate and i was in for a hard fight i new it was big so i just locked up the real and crossed my fingers the light line and knots would hold up and they did thank god i tied a new bimni twist on that arvo cause i had the feeling it just stayed together, finally after a heap of close calls with the pylon a massive 64cm jack popped his head up to say high, i was stoked a few quick pics and away he went my heart was beating for hours non stop after that and i think i stuffed down like 10 ciggies in an hour LOL after that no more big hook ups just a few taylor got jigged up and some nice bream so we headed home.

Yeah c'mon mate tell us all where you got him:P

Thats a farking nice fish mate. Just reward for takin a few drops on the head. Sucks being a smoker when you get a good fish like that. I know when i get a fish that im really stoked with, the darts cop a hammering to try and calm the nerves.

Well done
Whytey.

PS what gear did the damage?

Thanks for your comments guys he was a nice fish and after a good fight he didnt take much to swim off i placed him in the water and his fins went straight up and bang he was gone, I use tt jigheads or gumagatsu and i was using 16 pound leader and 12 pound braid most peoples nots would pop or snap under preasure from a jack like that if the reel was locked so it pays to tie a bimni in your main line, gives it so much more strength.
