Pieter1 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Bass are loads of fun on a 6/7 wt setup. I either use a streamer or a hair popper that I tie myself, on a floating line. I have stepped on one of these buggers, it bit me on the top of my foot, but luckily couldn't get through 3 layers of leather. I shat myselfI’ll give that a go next time I’m home. Jis man you can be lucky. That is not something I want to experience. Whenever I buy hiking boots puffys are something I think about. Like would this stop those fangs... Jis man those phodies look amazing!!! Going to Oman next week, don’t have my fly stuff here so going to do some light spining and some trawling. I’ll post some pics. DJR 1

Those things are monsters. They had to hold a mutual friend on the boat, because the GT was pulling him off, and he's not a little oke. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk DJR 1

DJR Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Oman GTDGT.jpg I agree, me tooNow, with the giant kingfish picture, you are just rubbing it in A king of over 1 metre on fly must rate as one of those lifetime catches!

Pieter1 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Jis man. I hope I get stuck into one of those. Jis!!!
DJR Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Jis man. I hope I get stuck into one of those. Jis!!!Getting stuck into one of those is just the first step, after that you will get treatment like you would expect from your meanest gangster streetfighter. It will make for a reef, shake you, pull you, rattle you, tire you out, cut you off, make you think you are winning and then stun you with its next run. It will make you pray to the gods of carbon fibre and nylon to protect your gear and you'll regret not doing more push ups. Hooking a GT and landing it, are two different events with quite a bit of space in between them. But, if luck is on your side, and the gods of fishing feel like smiling your way, you'll have stories to tell your grandkids one day.....yes, I know, I'm overly emotional....it's because they won and I lost......this far!
