Report from Jeff Le Strange of Hakula Lodge, Tonga.

Hi all
This week we had one of Japan's top GT anglers Mr Kenzaburo Kita fishing in Vava'u along with Shimano TV film crew

They fished 4 days just throwing Poppers 3 Days from the Shore with Guide Kurt Carlson and 1 Day from Protues with Lole Luie They  landed 5 Nice GT's biggest was 38KG (LAND BASED) don't ask where if we tell you we would have to kill you. We hope this will open up a Fishery that has a world wide appeal.

Ewan Macleod:
That is an incredible fish to land off the stones! I got done in by a baby 4-5kg GT on light gear recently on the rocks and it would take an incredible amount of play to land almost a 40KG fish ! Nuts. My dad was scuba diving in Tonga a few years ago and he said it was one of the healthiest looking systems he has seen.

Really look forward to the footage. What's Shimano TV Luke?

Peter Morris:
Amazing fish landbased.

Luke take me there PLEASE... ;D ;D

Peter Lowe:

My bags are packed, when do we leave ?

40kg RESPECT......

Nice alright! Must take some good maneuvering to land a fish that size onto rocks!
I spend all my time fishing trying to get them away from rocks!! :D
