dante green:
What is the record for GT caught by popper from land?

What rod suggestions for land based?

How much harder is it to land a monster class GT from shore vs. from boat?

cheers.

Hi Dante

The IGFA world record was caught from shore. You can see it here: http://wrec.igfa.org/WRecordsList.aspx?lc=AllTackle&cn=Trevally,%20giant

Fukui San, has I think, 4 IGFA lineclass records (Most probably caught on his boat?). But you can see how he catches a nice sized GT from shore here:

Sydney Neal:
What are you like at casting? Also the terain that you will be fishing in will be factors in rod selection

Nathan Tsao:
Depending greatly on terrain... Here in Hawaii, your chances of a monster fish from shore is about 1in 50 hookups of monster sized fish. Boat fishing is cheating compared to the rocks, but the rocks are a whole lot more fun because of it  :) :)
Good luck with your hunting!

Peter:  Thanks for the info!

Sydney:  The area I am fishing at is very deep with massive caves

Nathan:  What is the biggest GT on popper recorded there in Hawaii?

cheers.
