      I will never be able to put into words what I saw. Giles was retrieving his line when something took the bait...in an instant I saw him go from standing to almost on his knees holding on with everything he had. Not one of us in that boat could have landed what he had hooked on to...

      The immense power of what ever it was, was truly humbling...

      To date I joke with Giles that he accidentally hooked a submarine...he may have 🙂

      We're going back to settle a score...or at least to have fun trying.

                        Not my story to tell, but it’s been a fun trip to date! Battles won, lost, and stories made in the process.

                        There is a sense of wonder on when the next fish will bite, how big it may be, and what that may mean…

                        I have caught a few to date and have been happy with my results! Our boat captain caught one fish of 97kg yesterday in a battle that lasted 40ish minutes.

                        Here’s a picture of him during that event:

                        …and here’s one of me in my own battle:

                        IMG_0637.jpeg

                        …the real story is about the event of last year when @Giles hooked onto a fish of a lifetime and lost it. He hooked into 3 of those class fish today. I’ll let him tell the story and maybe share a picture or two.
