Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Doing midweek charters is cool especially when the boat is only half full and the punters invite the crew to catch a fish or 2.............A few rat kings came onboard and were released. A couple of guys wanted to know if there were any 'keepers' and I gave a quick tutorial on how to catch bigger ones. Following the instruction, 3 keepers were landed by the guys. 83, 85 and 87cm long. A couple of them then asked me if there were any bigger ones around and why didnt I show them how it was done......... so I did.

Bottom fish weighed in at 24.5kg and measured out at 1.27m " Bet you cant do that again"...........so I did and the top one in the pic measured out at 1.30m and weighed in at 27,9kg.........Kept one fillet off the smaller one for the skipper and I to share and gave the guys the rest....... They booked 2 more charters on the spot.......
