Very nice work from Ed and great video from Kil. I reckon he "sits down" as effectively as anyone I have seen fighting a big Geet.  Love that cheeky walk at 1.05 :) .

Should also say how well the Black Hole Cape Cod Special Popping rod (graphite version) did with that fish - the biggest GT I have ever seen in person.

Hi Mark

Do you recall the length of that one? looked thick in the tail....

146 cm fl measured in haste Clem.

First measure was 136 cm which was clearly wrong (muppet here to blame for holding the tape wrong  :-[ :-[) and it was done again. Lot of rushing as keen to get the fish back into the water.

You observation about thickness is spot on - a very thick fish. You can see in this picture here:

Congrats to Ed! Monster for sure!

Mark, was just wondering how the Blackhole compares to other rods, like Carpenter & Ripple fisher?

Congrats on the great catch
Do you think the rod need to be a tad more parabolic especially at this length?

Rick, the most obvious answer to your question is that this rod is 40% of the price of a Carpenter or Ripple!

It is not trying to compete with those exceptional offerings. Rather, it is the best sub $500 rod I have ever seen in action.
