Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Reports & Expeditions

38kg handline caught GT

<< < (3/3)

David Noble:
I've heard one reliable report of a drowning (can't remember which Pacific island?) of a local lady, fishing in longboat, and the 300lb handline got tangled round her leg, bit fish (GT) on the other end..  Was dragged into the water and drowned.  
But that's a whole new can of worms..and stories!

Peter Lowe:

It would have to be Lb not KG wouldnt it ?  ::)

Sorry. :-[

Brandon Khoo:
thank Pete - even at lb, that is an insane fish 

David Clumpner:
When I was in Palau the family I was living with caught two 175lb. marlin in one day off handlines.

And here in Japan, just a few weeks ago, a guy on my island caught a 200kg marlin off a handline.  He said it took him just 20 minutes.  He had some pretty mean cuts and scrapes on his left arm.
