      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…

            It certainly looks that way!

              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.

                        Day 4 started off a tad rough….

                        Got this nice one almost immediately…

                        Sent it back to live another day..

                        Then I had my best so far…...

                        Collateral damage…

                                  It was quite thin, so we reckon about 20kg

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