Thanks guys for all the comments! Im super stoked!

Paulo, im no fish magnet man, i just got lucky this time.

Lofty, well spotted!! i was fishing with one glove only then after landing the fish, when i pulled the other out of my bag realised i had 2 right hands! So in between the madness somewhere i swapped gloves over to try get the full glove on my left hand to help me hold the tail!!

Guys, this chap knows how to treat big fish with respect in the heat of the moment. Spending 45 min getting it back into its natural environment is awesome!

Had a really good stay at Zona 2 years ago. Comfortable, good value. In fact, we were booked in at low end accom and they were re-vamping so they upgraded us at their cost. Nice place.
Forgive me Father for I have spinned... It's been three weeks since my last cob session.
