Huge threadfin jealousy

[RAT-KING]

After phoning my mate last Sunday arvo for a fish he said "I dont Know I might see u down there" so I went anyway. scored some live bait a few prawns couple of hours later I see my mates coming! Still havent had a touch after a few more hours wat was bound to happen happened our to rods sitting side by side one started screaming I thought beauty it sounded like mine! Ran to my rod it wasn't mine it was his of course it was gonna be, Ive done it to him thousands of times it was now his turn! After 5 mins of an awsome fight losing 140m of heavy braid guess wat surfaced a 12-14 kg Threadfin salmon Ahhh! he done well im not gonna take anything away from him it was a great fish! Im just jealous

That is one awesome fish - it amazes me the number of XOS salmon reports that I've read for down your way. Especially in the last couple of years. I'm in Townsville and I've caught a grand total of 2 both caught on the same trip a couple of years ago.

I think there's a fair amount of pressure from pro-fishing so maybe that explains it but, they are great eating and more than a few of my ex-Darwin mates reckon they're better eating than barra. I disagree on that one but geez, they put up a good fight.

Good onya.
