This was my first Spanish Mackerel on popper caught on a R2S Dumbell 150 using the new Penn 950ssm and 30lb mono. I can't wait to target these speedsters in future after witnessing a 20kg+ spaniard launch 10ft out of the water (no bullsh!t) at a Hammerhead popper (although failing to hook-up) off Central Qld.
Cheers
"holy sh!t, did you see that?"
Great fish westoz.
I had the same over in fiji recently.....Using a Cubera 125 a spaniard about 15kg launched about 6ft in the air.....Hit the popper but I missed the hook up...
P.S I bet you would love to be snipped by a spaniard using a hammerhead...
Ouch that would be expensive

See if you can notice the teeth marks.

well done man! nice spanish
Im hoping to tick one off on a popper landbased this year. Have had 4 strikes so far but no connections. The arial strikes looked so cool that not hooking up didnt bother me at all. awsome stuff
Mad fish mate, quality stuff and hope that you have plenty more hitting you off the surface in the future.

As usual, you're on fire!
Great catch, nice looking popper too!
Cheers and thanks.
