Wayne Brown:
What a day, what a fish. Congrats mark.

Mark Harris:
Thanks guys... really appreciated .

I cannot tell you how much it means to land a fish of this size at my local patch. So many thousands of casts over the years; so many days completely blanking. It is all worth it  :D

Luke Wyrsta:
Very solid 50 something fish Mark. Well done.

I'm loving the bottom photo - the of epitome of unique rocky head deep water environments of Indo.

Mark Harris:
Thank you very much Luke - appreciated.

You mention the site.... it really is a remarkable place. So remarkable that Fukui-san said that he has never seen water quite like it.  The rocks you see in that picture are at the western edge of the narrowest point of the Lombok Strait - a main drain between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.  Massive rushes of water move through there.

When you couple that with the fact that there is a 100 metre wide reef shelf with 10-25 metre deep water, and only only 500 metres offshore the water is 250 metres deep.....

Ryan Keith:
Superb fish, Mark!  ;D Is that your biggest on the MH80H? Looks like you really tested the gear - pleased with its performance?

I also reckon large GTs in certain locations will spend a great deal of time in deep (200+ m) waters where topwater options are limited. I sure am glad they come inshore now and again!  :D
