Living dangerously and to get something like that at the end of it, I think it is worth it. If you ask all here, I believe most will agree with you and me as we have also crossed that line to get that dream too. Very nice barramundi and especially on a 4wt! How many lbs tippet did you employed for this type of fishing? And how long did you take to beach this beauty? Very nice fish.  |

Thanks MTS, I tried the magic code; 'width - 600....' didn't work and end up looking funny. The tags are the same. [ IMG]url.jpg[/IMG] To specify the size, [ IMG width=800 height=600]url.jpg[/IMG] The sign should be the "equal sign", "=" not the "minus or dash sign", not "-". There must be NO spacings in the code and tags. Otherwise the picture won't be shown. Hope the above explanation helps. |

Thanks MTS, I tried the magic code; 'width - 600....' didn't work and end up looking funny. I am no record seeker. Further more, I am not blessed with many opportunities, so I opt for a straight 30lb fc. At the end of the day, it is the fish on pic that count, not the ones that got away just because I am a line class freak. (I wised up) ;D. Oh yes, on a wimpy 4wt it was fun. But the best part was the surface boof. With 30lb tippet I was able to pressure it in with the right angles. It lasted less than 5 min. I wish to say it took backing and fougt for 20min, but this was not the case and I don't believe in tiring a fish unececcesarily. If you fish for barras long enuf, you should know what to expect. I guess the fellas must've been 9lb or more now, swimming happily in some off-limit waters waiting for me to dare him one more time...... sheet...am too old for this anymore.... YH YH Hi YH, I totally agree with you about using such a thick tippet for such occasion. Personally, I would do the same as afterall, we want that fish back in the water in the shortest time possible. Keep the photos coming. ;D |
