Whats your biggest fish on light line? 19kg mulloway on 6 lb line
Submitted by anypuddle on Sat, 2012-01-28 19:54
About 10 years ago while tailor fishing at Nedlands hooked and landed a 19kg mulloway on 2.7 kg stren 40lb leader 1.5 hour fight. Big shark mackeral on 8lb off the beach at dirk hartog on a bucktail jig, 8kg mekong giant catfish in Cambodia 45 min fight on 8lb, piece of bread for bait using a square cut out of a thong for a float. 100kg shark off the beach in kalbarri. Big spanish mackeral trolling a halco redhead on a handline in a canoe in the Philippines. Catching Dhuies on 80lb is still fun but these fish are some of the standouts for me.
Keep trying i suppose you get lucky sometimes.!!!

Favourite in the last couple
Favourite in the last couple of years was a 40kg black marlin on 6kg.
Also spent 2.5 hours fighting a 100kg plus black on 8 for no result. Never really got a chance with the tag on that one. Target for this year is a black on 4.
Enty of dollies, macks and tuna on 2 and 3kg.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Last year here in Dampier a guy caught a 27kg Tiger shark on 1kg line during a competition. Seems pretty unbelievable?

each to their own but light
each to their own but light line for billfish is starting to become a thing of the past,
A) if its for a record you kill it (we all know the way things are tag and releas eis the way of the future)
B) If it doesnt get sharked, and you release it after a couple of hour fight i doubt it will survive
As for that tiger shark in that comp, what an awesome capture in regards to the weight to line class
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
