    1985 I think A330driver. Back when you wore black rubber Skellerup marathon thigh waders,lol.I was a bit younger then. Weighed 39 and 3/4lb at Theo's fish shop 12 hours later , so I like to think it was 40lb. Caught it on a 6ft baitcaster with 20lb Maxima line up by Griggs rd on the mighty Rakaia.

    Yes, remember those waders. Thought all my dreams had come true when my feet were finally big enough (with double sox) to fit them. No more gumboots and wet feet all morning

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
