It was a great way to break in my new weapon the new GFX x-tream 20-40lb by gary howard and if it wasn't for the fact I was using one of the new extra heavy gauge "THE FUZZ" jigheads by impact tackle I doubt very much I would have won the battle. I was only fishing 30lb braid and 30lb leader but being hooked up to a fish that size on even 30lb for almost a hour is enough to straighten even the toughest jigheads:o

Thanks mate! yes it was a huge suprise! we searched the whole bay for longtails after reports they had been about...after a long morning of no findings we decided it was time to look else where...a good mate gave me a mark in the middle of no where ...lol (the bay ) snapper was the target for this spot at the time and considering the conditions I thought this was a good time to be in with half a chance of a nice fish in this spot...
After a long time drifting the spot and many casts later the last thing I was expecting was a solid hookup! ....Snapper was the first thing that came to mind! ....head shakes! ...Big ones! ...then came the runs ::)

Sensational captures there! well done! that GT is a beast, people pay big money to chase them much further afield. Great to see so many good captures in the bay,
