Angus Hulme:
great stuff Jordan....not absolutely huge fish, but I wouldn't complaining, any GT is better than sitting in an office, dreaming of foaming surface strikes.

Love that coral trout shot, great colours on the fish and the lure.

Cheers

Jordan Hack:
I have been mixing the trebles and singles up a bit but probably been using more trebles. I think the hook up rate seems to be better but after this particular session I am going to switch to jobus i think. On two of the fish we released i had to leave the treble in the fish (both fish hooked badly under the jaw) to avoid doing extensive damage to the fish- not good at all. On top of that, one fish that was tail hooked ended up depositing a 5/0 st-66 into my finger as I was trying to release it boat side. the weight + tail thrashing made for a very uncomfortable moment. Thank god for crushing the barbs and the hook came out strait away. However my finger still hurts like buggery and also possibly accounted for losing myself a lot better class of fish, which I couldnt apply any rod pressure to. Guess that might be a bit of gt karma
