Hi Guys,
Well I finally found a little window to get offshore. #With my mate Jason, we went out to check out if there are many big pelagics turning up yet off Tweed. #Can't say we found wahoo, but an old friend paid a visit. #There's just something special about a big king. #This old boy inhaled a big minnow lure I brought back from the states. #We managed to drag him from the dangers around fidos and got him on board for a quick photo. #After doing his best to demolish the boat (he was still quite green) we addes some jewelry (a nice yellow tag) and then made sure he was well and truly revived. #It gave us the greatest pleasure to watch him swim off strongly, ready to meet again another day. #I guess he would have weighed about 14 kg although we didn't take the time to weigh him. #he had a big head and a very lean body. #could have easily gone 18kg with better condition. #
Long live the king!
