Giles Hits Oman….

The early bird catches the worm.

Up at 04:30 at the dock between 05:30 and 06:00…

Lunched a Bay that is nicknamed Baghdad…

Then the "Asian Mob" decided to come and lunch too…

Yassir my trusty friend and mentor…

It is the gap between the motor and the side of the boat behind Yassir that I was saved from disappearing through when the 60Kg tried to pull me in…..

The juxtaposition of the gorgeous, turquoise water and rocky, desert coastline is stunning. What a trip. Congrats, G.

@Giles:

A 40Kg plus GT is a GT fisherman's dream….

45Kg

A 60Kg is a pipe dream.

Today, I did both (in the right order):

60Kg

Needless to say, I have a load more images and a 10minute vid of me playing the 45.  It makes for some humorous viewing….(yes, I was completely and utterly fucked......)

Amazing stuff G.

Did you ever post the video? Even without sound it'd be good to watch.

[Giles]

I guess somewhere in the 50Kg range.  Could have been more.  Not posted yet, I was hoping to get sent a version that is decent res….

cool. Will keep an eye out. 60KG is just huge :). I'm @ about 68KGs these days, but about 2 years ago was 62KGs. Would have crazy to have you reel me in conceptually :).

Here you go @Snowy

First couple of minutes are missing.  I hooked the fish very close to the point of the island in the distance.  Yassir then basically drags the fish out to deep water with me holing on for dear life.  Once we are in deeper water and away from the reef, we can then relax a little….

Watched it all, thanks for sharing. Laughed out loud around 4.30 in where you had to go for a seat. That's some serious effort there. Great catch!!!!!!

[Finkster]

agreed … very entertaining
