Doug Lindsay:
Just amazing! How anybody could physically handle that many GTs in a day is beyond me! Awesome :)

Bertrand Picarda:
Sounds like the Olympic Games of GT fishing ! 80 GTs in one day...how you guys survived that ? You must have been in top conditions, that' s like no rest in between fish ( and they all look big) for several hours non stop. Better than any gym club :-) Well done and great respect for unhooking a large doggy in the Water without boating it, this is something we should all consider doing, bravo.

Kasey Leong:
I would add that 80 GT's in one day, for each boat (and all three boats would have got about that) was really without even trying. I believe some of us just gave up towards the end, or took our own (slow) time between landing fish / tying knots / having a cool drink.

Sometimes we just sat back and watched other anglers catch fish!

In fact, a very rare situation where I hoped the GTs would get out of the way for the Dogtooth.

How's that? But don't expect this every trip!

Behind a trip like this is countless hours of bad weather, fish not being on the bite, fish not being successfully located.... you could fish for decades before such an experience would come along

I just want to thank the many kind people who gave me the chance to be involved, and for the excellent company on board.

Kasey Leong:
Save the terribly inconsiderate angler who (fortunately) I only had to fish with on the first day.

I absolutely blame him for me catching DONUT on the one black day of the trip.

Took up all the front space of the casting deck, kept distracting me while I was fishing/casting and was physically abusive as well.  ;)

Neville Haglund:
For me it was not only the quality of the fishing but the quality of the anglers I was fortunate enough to fish with.Learnt so much both with popper retrieval and swimming Gammas and standard Stickbaits etc.
Obviously the high light for me in addition to my PB GT was landing a 45kg Doggie on a PE4 rod,a 4500 reel, spooled with 30lb Braid.Honestly believe having a 6metre leader was an advantage be it only 60lb.Reckon it acted like a "bungie " cord.
Thanks Brandon,
If you ever decide to do another Unknown I'm IN.
