Nicely done guys!
From what I've heard, the diver whiting make reasonable snapper bait.. could be worth popping him back down under again.

g'day Trev
That was a fine morning's fishing for you and that other young fella.
Jimbo must have been cranking to get out to you if he was on the beach when you called him.
I would have liked to get out there on Wednesday but alas, work commitments got in the way.
I'm heading out later this morning with my son to see what we can see when two yakkers go to sea.
A great read Trev, congrats on the PB.

For you Nanga... John... the trouble with being retired is that you don't get a day off!
I'm thinking of getting a "one day a year job" so I can call in sick!
Get that inta ya!
You keep on working, and I'll sort the fish out for you... heh! heh!
Cheers Jimbo

Would you believe, two days later I undid the line tangle from that big snapper outfit before we went out at Woorim?
The line was well and truly wrapped around below the base of the spool, and if that snapper had made another lunge, it would have been just another "almost landed a huge snapper today" stories.
Trev really looks after his fishing gear, eh?
