Whitsunday monster!

Aaron Concord:
Top GT guys!!
Have to be 40ish, though as Luke said, it can be hard to pick the weight from a photo...genuine beast though  ;D ;D ;D
Those big G's strike a lot like that on the stick baits....they know they have it sized up to kill and there is nothing sillier trying to snatch a bone from a dog like that!!

Top effort.

What hooks/rig did you have to stop her??

Cheers

Aaron.

Cy and Kerrin Taylor:
Aaron,

This fish striked as the lure was about 1 foot underwater, we gave it two sharp jigs and let it rise up.

You could just see it's big top top fin slicing the surface! It was awesome to see.

It ate an Ulua 120 with 300Lb Decoy size 11 split rings & Decoy Jigging single hooks.

The rod was a Tcurve Bluewater Spin 10-15kg & Stella 8000, 80Lb Suffix braid + 150Lb Jinkai leader.

The 8000's are really good for popping and we really like them!

C&K

Stephen Polzin:
Yeah go the 8000!  I've been punishing mine for a couple of years now, always comes back for more! Nice and light too.
