Hey Kasey is this on your most last recent trip to new cal?

[Kasey Leong]

Bjr Denis,
Lure - Hammerhead G-Cup
Spot - Close to David's "Special Wreck" 

Nathan - Yes, this was last month

[Nathan Cefai]

Good results i see mate,was ther any other big GT at all

[Kasey Leong]

I dropped one around 65 kg.

I can't remember how many over 50kg we raised, maybe 4 or 5? But I guess they're not so easy to set the hooks, fight and land. We didn't bother to count or take pictures of the numerous 15-25 kg.

[Nathan Cefai]

Mmmmm better luck next time or i might hook one up for ya when i head over there again!!

Hi Guys - some captures from last week with Lip Song's group. Congratulations to Robin for his great capture (check out last photo). That is a real stonker!   

[Geoff Volter]

Sweet mother of god!! There's some beef in that lot. What was the estimate of weight on the last fish? and what were the dimensions?

[Brandon Khoo]

I understand around 55kg

[Lip Song]

thanks brandon for posting up e pics 

e GT was measured 1.3m, caught with Ocean Revolution widowmaker rod, orion stickbait.

[Brandon Khoo]

congratulations to Robin - that's the biggest GT caught on an OR to date, I believe.
The fish would have been more than 1.3m, wouldn't it?

[Lip Song]

Thanks Brandon for posting the NC pictures, you guys are Fas....t...... I don't even have any of them yet as I was using only a video cam. The GT was measured by Rudy OF LPB at 1.3m, the body came with a very fat and huge girth which easily made the 55kg mark. Perhaps due to the spawning period....Thanks for your kind compliments...Brandon
