Giles Chases GT's (well actually his dream)….

[Giles]

Ben shows mer how it's done…..I caught 5 Red Snapper and lost a good GT.......Onwards and upwards..  Actually Mohamed told me I did good today - I'll take that......

Very cool!
I went to the Maldives maybe 5 years ago, I think that's where my profile picture is from.

I spoke to a very excited and exhilarated Giles and Ben this afternoon after their 2nd day of fishing - I think it's fair to say they're both having a brilliant time…

Today I started off with a Shark….

Not what I was after, but a good work out…..

I am called Papa by the crew, as I am the oldest on the boat.

By 09:00 this morning each of the other 3 anglers had had GT's.  The pressure was on the Papa, and boy did the crew let me know it.  Then I had a good hit and the crew were as relieved as I was....

Not the biggest we have boated thus far, but I am a GT virgin no longer.

Capt Mohamed, shows his relief….

Then we had some pretty stuff..

That's a great post. Bit of drama, excellent pictures, and a happy ending (!). Congratulations on your first GT.

Collateral damage…

I don't know much about fishing but that looks like one hell of a buzz!

Damn, that last one's a beast. Good work. How much did it weigh?

It was quite thin, so we reckon about 20kg

Wow, that's a monster G!

@Giles:

Holy moly!    … Congrats

[Hereforthebeer]

Good stuff mate. 20k still would have been a good workout. They really are a beast of a fish. Congrats

[Giles]

40kg white tip today, that was a work out…..
