2012 Carnarfin Horse!
Submitted by Trueblue3 on Fri, 2012-06-29 17:25
G'day everyone,
Thought It was about time I upload something from my recent trip to Carnarvon for the fishing Comp.
Report still to come, But i thought you would enjoy this little story.
Headed out on the Seafox 257 to Bernie Island, Trolling somewere "near" The Gap, my Rovex Overhead with 70lb Line starts screaming off...Stop the boat and straight into reverse.
5 odd mins of fighting and Dan (fellow FW member - Dkonig82) Calls out Monster Wahoo.. Sure enough got the horse on the deck and its a monster...
Official weight at the weigh in was 31.8kg (Gilled and gutted)
Totally destroyed my Rapala Xrap.

Wahooooo
Great fish. That would have gone hard. That lure will look great on the wall in your bar, a coversation piece for sure.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Hey Matt - was a great day out for sure, that Hoo will take some beating :-)

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
