Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
104lb GT
Gavin Ng:
hey guys I totally agree with what you're saying, and I'm a catch and release guy myself, its brings out the true spirit of fishing because it shows you're truly in it for the fight and nothing else, not to mention it's a lot more satifying when both angler and fish come ot on top. Just thought i'd bring the other side of the arguement as alreay mentioned there's always different ways of doing things, and within the law, they're all right ways. In no way am I trying to glorify killing the fish.
Cheers

Good call Brandon, After taking some scales out in my boat a few times I'm often left scratching my head at the alleged weights of fish in some pics. I think adrenaline adds a few kilos in most cases. This is a true beast!

Stephen, you get to spend more time out on the water than just about any of us and no doubt, you must have seen some real beasts out there at times. They big ones really are scary sized - a really big GTs is longer than I am tall - just huge!!
