We had stingray to 32lb. , sandshark to 32lb. , captainfish, butterfish, trevally, catfish....
I'll let Mickey tell you about the stingray he was playing (and unfortunately it bust him up), but it would have been the fish of the week I reckon. I watched him as he played it, and watched as it streamed line from his reel! I looked at Mickeys' face, and it told the story - this was a biggy! After a lot of perseverence, sweat, and good old heave-ho, it eventually escaped (broke his line actually) to fight another day...but good on ya Mickey, you experienced that "pull ya back" attitude of the biggy's you can get over there!
I also lost a biggy, but not as big as this one - I may be well off the mark here, but this fish could have been very close to 70lb. !!!!!
Never mind Mickey, we'll be back next year, to do battle with them....
Mickey and a few others have all the pics and are busy editing and sorting, and I'm sure as soon as they are ready, they will be posted....just to give you some idea of where and what we were catching, here's one of my trevally's....
Believe me fellas, there are much better pics and much better fish to be posted - watch this space...
