The boys that really struck gold where the Brazilians Andre Marco and Marcelo, it was there first time Targeting GT's on Topwater but they where no steangers to big fish having done numerous trips to Panama for monster yellowfin Tuna. They had a fairly easy introduction to GT's when Marcello landed a smaller model on the first day. Day two saw some frustration with no fish landed and few favorite lures donated to Neptune. Day three saw a bit of extra crank on the drag stack of the Stella's and we managed to crack an incredible 2 hour session. Marcello stepped up to the plate first with a good fish and Andre followed soon after with a kegger of note. Marco wasn't left out of the action landing a beaut as well. but the crowning glory of the day was a monster double up by Andre and Marcos.
The two fish hit seconds apart in a vulgar display of power Andres hit was incredibly explosive far beyond what I normally see out here, his fish then proceeded to dump line off his Stella at an incredible rate taking over three quarters of his line in a single run, I had set his drag for him and believe me it wasn't set at school girl levels, I slowly pushed after his fish to gain back some line while draining line off Marcos reel who was also tangling with a brute. The boys dug deep, piled on the pressure and we landed two colossal fish Marcos with a black model of 55 kilo's and Andre phenomenal 63 kilo brute. Andre didn't feel up to holding the fish on his lap as he was worried about dropping it so we settled for a shot with them side by side and released them back into the water.
