Title: Mom's bragging rights
Post by: krissi on September 25, 2014, 07:25:00 AM

My son, Dean, moved to the Eastern Cape in February to complete his diesel trade.  He has been targeting a big fish for all these months and it finally paid off.  He landed this bronze whaler yesterday at Seavale after fighting it for 2.5 hours.  He used a 10/0 mustad demon circle, non return slide and live mullet.  Unfortunately he didn't measure it but she was safely released to fight another day.

Any guesses on the weight?

I wish I could have been with him  :-( but I am one very proud mom  :yipee:

That's a great fish!

Very difficult to estimate the weight without a shot from side on but definitely in the region of 100kg
