Rough estimate around 30kgs, after 4 or so hrs of popping and this was the only GT for the day, went like a train and nearly pulled me out of the boat on the strike :o

Haven't been able to get out for a while due to work commitments but as I wrote in another thread I've witnessed the local 100lb'ers smashing up nervous schools of baitfish around our Iron Ore wharf while I've been at work  >:(

wicked fish... especially the fly... and the fish caught by jay - does look really fat!  i am yet to bust the 20kg

after my last trip, im out looking for a 50kg scale. rapala make a fish sling for muskies, which i will trial even though i think the mesh is a bit soft.
