Nice one Les mate, looks like yer had a good time .. LOL I like the \"wahooooooooo\"

haha mind you the kingfish I`msure is just an overfed mackie :)


great pics mate thanks for showing us ..........

ps this year eh? maybee :) :) :)
 
thanks for the replies,

norman, that wahoo was only a baby, i had one at 50lb+, biggest of the season at malindi but i was so knackered after the fight with it (1/2hr) that i couldn\'t pick it up for a photo fresh from the sea (bit of a rough sea too), the only pic i have is a crappy trophy shot at the weigh in :(

tony also had a 115lb sharkof some species possible a bronzie or a silky, he took 45 minutes to boat it, probably fought just as hard as any marlin, just without the fireworks

and yes norman, this year, just put in an order for some decent weather will you??

tonys sailfish, the only one we got this year

another GT about 55lb, these were everyones favourite fish, i think if you caught more than 6 of these in a day your arms would fall off, they pull sooooo hard

I still think that first one is our kids goldfish that got flushed down the bog 5 years ago.

that was my thoughts when this one (the first one) hit the surface...

we had them a lot bigger (20lb+) and they fight all the way to the boat, even when their stomach blows out with the pressure change,

nice eating too :P
