FIJIgging
Just wanna share some pix fresh out of the cam...

Dogtooth Tuna went 74kg, 1kg shy of the all-tackle Fijian record set in 1965. Should qualify for the line class record once they figure out how much the 50lb braid actually breaks at. Taken on home-made power-cropped JM400 and 665XN with fisherman andaman in approx 12mins fight time. It was brutal!

Other highlight includes 30kg maori wrasse on PE-3 Poseidon - beautiful fish!

Gawd JJJ,

Thats a horse of a Dogtooth Tuna....... Well done mate and many congrats on a rocking trip.

That is a very nicely built JM too.... I like the matching 665.....

Some more pics would be great for those of us who are somewhat land locked at the moment (i.e. me)...

Regards,

Saimee

Hi Mates

Great Catch Report what charter is this in Fuji for those who are worse then landlocked.

I've benn boatless for 5 weeks, send the boat to be extended for more stability and fuel cap, planning a long trip in Oct so need the range.

Siamee you want to come over and we take off from nongsa marina, maybe get jon to come along.

Cheers all
Ragman

Re: FIJIgging
Thanks guys...

The fish was taken in over 100m of water, we were fishing drops. After the take it just went straight over the shelf and down.

We were fishing on a friend's boat, trip was DIY. More exploratory than anything!

Will post more pix once i free up some time, up to my neck with work!

Cheers

Most doggies don't fight long, just have to sustain the first long run and pray they don't cut u off... and it wasn't easy fighting super high-drags even for a lil' over 10mins, so no i'm not strong at all!

JM rods have built a good rep for themselves over time, i think they do their job well and many bros here will attest to that...
