by catch

[nuggstar]

I was iching for a flick after work this morn, so i set out to one of my flatty spots to se if i could nail a big girl.
I worked over the area with no signes of any flatty action.
the tide slowed down and i was just about to change placky when i get a Tap Tap tatatatatata tap frickenNNN STRIKE ON.. ON.. zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ OFFF aaaaaaaahhhhhhh reel in. "what the hell was that" i thort as i recast in the same spot.
It sunk down and just as it made it to the bottom, tap Tap tatatata tap tap FRICCKKEENN STRIKE...."YEP im on.. but what is it"....reel reel.. "its not a flatty"..reel reel... shake shake "mmmm what is it"...shake shake..."its a" ...reel reel.."its a" ...."its a jew yeeeeeesssss", "a small one but its a jew yessssssss".
Iv been trying years to nail one of these suckers and it felt awsome to finally get my first one after all the hours iv put in trying to get one.
Im stoked and cant wait to get a big one to see if the fight as hard as there black brothers up north. im spewing about the first one it felt much bigger, but i was just happy to finally crack one.

I got my first one up in Kauri Ck on a 5" watermellon jerkshad.
I was fishing/camping up there with my son (snagking). We were in the canoe and fishing had been VERY mediocre. I was bored and about to call it a day. Cast one out and didn't really 'try' to catch anything. All of a sudden, Zzzzzzzzzz. Got it landed. Young Snagking then asks 'how'd you do that?". I preceded to show him the 'poor' technique I used. Bang, #2. He keeps trying himself. After a few minutes, asks me to show him again. So I did. Landing #3. Three out of about 5 casts. Then it went dead. But I had a great time doing it!!

[cuzzamundi]

Congrats, mate...that's a nice fish, especially given the time you've put in. Cannot beat that feeling.

Well done for a bycatch. I lost one at the pin mouth on light gear and boy do they run. Lucky to get a good size to start you up and then get smashed on the big fellas. Cheers good fish.
