Home school started early....



Boat on the water and out a bit deeper than some of the recent trips. (20m) Dropped the long line, anchored up and Olly and I deployed a flasher rig and a stray line each.

After a few minutes my flasher got hit hard and that saw me connected to a nice size fish. There was a strong current at the time and the fish was using it to its advantage keeping me occupied.

Next minute my stray line starts screaming. "Grab it mate" i said to Olly "and go easy its only light gear"

To his credit he played it really well, showed a lot of patience especially with the fish going on some scorching runs!



Not sure how long it took to get it to the boat, felt like ages. Olly was very quiet the whole time except when he saw it and then it was "holy shit dad its massive, oh my god im shaking so much, get it in the net dad, get it in the net!"

It was a thumper!



Dad met us at the ramp when we got back and took it to his mates shop to get it weighted on his digital scales. Here's the printout, funny to see that if it was infact tomato and bacon sausages it would have been $132 worth



His day wasn't over though not long afterward he landed another cracker on his own strayline. We picked up the longline and thankfully it only had 1 snapper on it.

4 fish and I couldn't shut the lid on my chilli bin, 9am and we were on our way back in.



There was a fair amount off hooting and hollering on the way back. I couldnt hear it all over the motor noise but something along the lines of "I cant believe ive just caught a 20 pound snapper!"



Here is the 4 fish. Fom left to right on the chilli bin 16 Lb,15 Lb and 14 Lb.

Amazing!!
