Well my journey may be slow and winding and for the last couple of weeks have been catching small pbs and sometimes caught a big 0. But yesterday, my luck changed ;D Before work, me and my usual buddy, went to our usual water hole to ease our itch. Its quiet as usual and the fishes seems to be very smart and reconised every fly that we present to them. I have been using flies from Griffith gnats , nymphs, charlies to condom magggots and finally I caught 3 with one I had to use my boga to lift. But I was so excited to take a picture and release it that I forgot to weigh it. Can anyone guess what is the weight of it?

Great report Jimboz - those peacock bass look like they hit hard and are built for a good fight.
Cheers,
George

Hi Jimboz, Just a suggestion, for a photo composition. Try framing the subject (in this case) to the right rather than the centre. Cos the background behind him is taking too much visual away. Try this instead. Cheers Qwek
