Title: New Caledonia catch report
Post by: Chris Tan on October 31, 2007, 03:48:35 PM

Hey guys,

Just came back from NC with my wife, Jac. Beautiful location with some great fishing to be had. We caught our best gts and lost of number of biggies which Rudy from PB said they could be over 50 to 60kgs. Jac was spooled once and we got busted off on 4 other occasions.

Enjoy the pictures

Rudy said it was a big gt. It wasnt fun seeing the line peel out of the stella at such an alarming rate.
