Realllllly sux !!!!!!!

Well went down to Bunno to visit Lisa's family in Myalup. Took the boat out Saturday and what a day!!! Got close to whales, watched them breach etc. Crazy but the day was marred in sadness as i took the light rod, fitted it out with small gangs and half a mulie hoping for big skippy but my main target was big flathead . Of all the fish i have caught she loved flathead the most so we found some flat sandy bottom in 12 meters of water, Dropped my bait and left it on the bottom as i played wth the gopro then the rood went off hard! I was hooked onto what i thought was a sambo. As it got close all my nightmares came through as soon as i seen pink. Friggen big snapper and i knew it had to go back!!!!!!!

Quick couple pics and held it in the water it gave a huge tail wash and darted for the bottom safe. Oh well i dont eat fish but would of loved to get some fillets for the family at Christmas. Love to catch and realese though so it felt good.

 Cheers yeah im happy with the pic. Didnt mark the spot in all yhe confusion but i know exactly how to find that spot agan. I doubt any will be there as there was no reef unless it was spawning as the other rod went of exact same tine but snapped off.  Must of been a school there
