Hi Jon,
Everything went so well, perfect conditions, great scenery, even dolphins, whales and scattered Big YFT launching in the sunset.
Cheers
Andy

Just 2 doggies, biggest 30Kg, the first run was awesome, these fish were really turned-on and felt like mini bullet trains.

Hey Andy what do you think of the Kaibatsu Surface Monster????
I have just bought one and yet to use it, Just seeing what you think of them and what lures were you using on it???
Cheers Jarrad

Hi Jarrad,
The surface monster is fine, Brad L. slayed the 3 biggest fish on it up 45 KG. Brad was using 200gm dumbell's and 150gm chuggers, the latter probably loading the rod better for cast, it gets the lures out far enough and has enough to stop big fish obviously. We did break one on the december trip though, and i keep pushing Brad to load the footage onto Youtube ::).
The only quirk with the rod is the long handle makes it awkward in close when fish is vertical. It may be suited better to a lower slung lap-gimbal but i prefer a higher position. Anyway try it out, it works for the money.
Cheers
Andy

Great trip there Andy!!!!

Awesome trip! The conditions and scenery look perfect. That last shot speeding across a milpond ocean with beers after a days fishing - look like two very satisfied campers!
