Thanks for the comments. We have had a number of Pennant Fish the past year or so but none any where near that size, think i was just as happy as when we guide guests to huge GT with that fish. Considering the side profile of the Pennant they are very thin but such a beautiful species. 3 followed that fish all the way to the boat!
The dinosaur inhaled what is one of my favorite Poppers - Craft Bait GT3, Black 190g. I can still fish this lure very hard in choppy water and not worry about wasting my cast by pulling the lure tumbling through the air. Scotty was using a Ripple Fisher Fanta-stick, PE10, Stella 18k. What is really great is that i suggested he buy the lure before he came so to get the result we had is very satisfying. When the fish came up next to the boat we just could not believe our eyes and it took 3 of us to pull it in so we could gently rest it on the deck instead of bashing it down, great care needs to be taken to keep these fish in pristine condition.
On another note take a look at one of the carbontex drag washers from my SOM 18k spool which i have only fished for around 6 weeks .. little disappointed to be honest considering the price of the spool. All need replacing already .. anyone else have this problem?
