Great day today!

Hate to say we told you so, but we landed and tagged a 300lb blue and a 60-70 kg stripey on 30lb today. Let the blue go even though it was double the record as I know we can do much better especially after the fish on Saturday..was this blues lucky day! Didnt even photograph it as its on go pro. Took pics of the stripey and my new leaderman/cameraman in training..Dale Leenstra...check the headgear haha.
Fish on Big T Vanatu and Etosha(stripey).

Trevor, you know what...that is the right thing to do. Please add it to the new IGFA release category (All tackle Length), it's still a record boet. Gone are the times that the fish need to hang of the gantry to be classified a record

Sorry no measurements taken and too much of a fag.

Good fishing, well done!
That record you looking for is just around the corner I am sure.
Water in the pic looks great

Another magic day on the water. Dropped a stripey early then some gamefish (Dorado and Wahoo) and then had a double header on stripes and dropped one releasing other. Things looking better and better!

Stripeys must be my absolute fav.

Chase them on 10kg or 15kg line if they are around in numbers, makes for nice fun, especially if you go 2 or 3 up

Went 0-1 on blue today dropping a nice blue after a good run. My leaderman Dale Leenstra set a new Junior SA Blue Marlin record of 230 kg on 30 lb fishing off Mitsu Fishi with Hansie Van Wyk!! Went on to release another two blues on a memorable day for the team - top effort guys!!

Good day yesterday after a frustrating start with a good stripey charging everything including the teazer and the exhaust on the boat when the teazer was removed. Second stripey caused the same havoc and waved goodbye. Glad to see a blue that had the manners not to play with his food and hooked up solid.

Another good day today with a big blue of 300 kg which unfortunately got tail wrapped and died on us. Client got more than what he bargained for and the fight of his life under big pressure to get her up again. 3 hour fight![/color][/font][/size]

Dropped a good blue after a 30 min fight this morning and raised a small stripe that did some window shopping and left... all good!
