Just got back from a week at exmouth, didnt end up doing any gt popping due to a few "complications" allthough had all the gear ready to go.

I did manage to snag this little sucker when casting at a school of tuna that came close to shore. Put up an awesome fight on my stella 4000 ;) Took a 20g twisty.

Also landed plenty of smaller ones ~50-60cm  on the breamin gear on the flats which was good fun. Got a heap of fish this trip just didnt have any time to go gt fishing and when we did we were stopped by a few obstacles. I did how ever have a first for me ....

Marlin on a jig! Wont go into details but it was lost meters from the boat due to a few errors on my behalf. Estimated at ~50kg.  Took a 200g searock.

no honsu it was not due to bad knots, thought he was done jumping, and went for one last one by the boat where my jig went flying past my head :p

And to re-iterate, the "dodgy knot " saga that day was bad braid hence why i lost 50 meters of it ....not at the knot! :p So stfu haha my knots are fine.
