My cast was on the money, right into the boiling anchovies, unfortunately the whale shark breached vertically at the same time and my green gunz sailed right into its open maw....gulp.
Brandon, it went as hard as whale shark could go i guess, amazingly it stayed on the surface slashing about and put a nice bend into my LR88, but of course my leader was about 5m too short for him and it pinged me pretty quickly on PE6. A very funny experience.
Did it go hard?
I've had YFT on them, I also had a large whale shark swallow one.. well it landed in it's mouth whilst it was engulfing anchovies that the tuna were feeding on, so it does not count it's just a funny story.
