Coral Viper

[Dave Hudson]

Thought you guys would be interested to hear how I became the proud owner of a Carpenter Coral Viper,

Last night my wife and I threw a big party in Manly to celebrate our recent wedding. We had 120 friends and
family having a great time with lots of drinks and plenty of dance floor action!

About half way into the night we had a couple of speeches and my wife did a great speech thanking all and the rest
.....Then she says, I have the best husband in the world so I got him this rod I know he wants..... and pulls out
the coral viper.....blew me away, I'm still shocked!

She has been doing research on this site and got help from the awesome Wahyu at Global Tackle.
I cant wait to get out on the water with it and have a big trip in Cape York at the end of the year.

Now I know she is definitely........the one!!

Great story Dave! I want to meet a woman like that 

Good luck with your Coral Viper, it's an awesome rod.

[Geoff Volter]

Congratulations on your wedding.
That is a great story and would have been a great surprise (probably a better surprise than Mick C's "top serect box" )

[Brandon Khoo]

You are going to have a lot of jealous guys on this forum, Dave!

I want to know what it is in it   
I know it can't be a Captiva as he got rid of all of those ages ago!!

He must have kept some, just for occasions like this.

[Jason Chiu]

WOW!! The best!! =D

[Robert Tapert]

but will she let you fish with it on the Honeymoon???

[Peter Childs]

Sounds more like a reverse psychology approach to me Dave, I'd keep a close eye on her if I were you, something fishy goin on there!
I think half the fun of marriage is the stealthy "purchase + hide" game all fisherman play - sounds like she has taken all the fun out of that!

I'm sure she's a lovely lady, and if she's going to ruin the game with a pre-emptive strike.....what a way to do it hey!  Master stroke!

[Peter Lowe]

Just cements you choice to marry her ah !

What a champion -especially considering she went to the trouble of "researching this site"..... RESPECT !!!
