One of the Nomad guides hooked a 40kg doggie on a stickbait but it ripped the guts out of the belly swivel. I only had one bust off which was to a 35kg+ fish which took a Bigfoot 140 in 3m of water. I'm pretty sure there were only a few casualties all week.
Brandon Khoo:
Jay, are you saying the swivel failed?! If that is the case, it's a real #$@! to lose a good fish like this >:(
Hooking a doggie in shallow water is pretty special - pity you didn't land it.

Yep that's right Brandon. I meant to take a photo of the stickbait but I forgot... For interests sake it was a Dogtooth 80.
