I got to My office early this
morning I opened My car
door to some Spectacular
views, WOW....EPIC couldn't
have asked for better conditions. Overcast
with some rain, the sea was Pearl was
estimated to be between 0.8 m to 1m. The
rod was already set up the night before, so I
grabbed my bag and I set off. I had My
Assassin Power Master X/Heavy fitted with a
Sustain 5000 with 30 lb Braid, I started off
with an Owner 6' Smoking Shad Minnow on
a 1.5 oz Jighead.
Hitting my stretch I started to throw for that
Special GT, always hoping for that Mother of
all Mother's, would it be today I get to My
Quest For The Holy Grail!!! GT well here's
hoping half way into my stretch BOOOOOM
My line went tight I was on I could definitely
feel I had a GT on, not big but an adrenaline
smash is worth gold in the bank.
Giving Me a good revving I managed to keep
it off the bricks and slowly brining him
closer to shore using very little waves, I
managed to land him - nice fella got My pic
tagged and released him back safely. A good
fight and the end to another epic morning
