      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…...

                              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 😉
