20 Kg Dhufish
Submitted by jeffb121 on Wed, 2008-06-04 17:36
First time fishing. Didn't have any right handed reels. All we had was a rod normally used for bait fish that could be converted to a left hand reel. Nearly lost all my line, we had to chase it down with the boat and it finally came to the surface after several drag adjustments.
