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!
That's a fantastic achievement! Respect!
Congrats and well done!!
A great result!!
Thanks guys, will post more pix when possible...
Superb report/pictures! Nice to see yet another prize catch caught by fella Singaporean.
Very impressive catch ! Congratz....
Which part of Fiji did you fished ? How deep of water ?
Gawd JJJ,
Thats a horse of a Doggie....... 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 CR 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
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
12 mins!!! to land that monster!!! you are damn strong man.
Just wondering since you're using JM rods, are they good?
CB dude,Originally Posted by ragman
That is a wholly most generous offer.... Could ya pm or e-mail me the details and I'll see if work will let me off.... How is Jon these days, I haven't heard from him in ages...
Regards,
Saimee

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...

What a mama dogtooth!
Thank you for sharing
More pics please.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
