Saw there was a bit of warm water just north of Whangamumu so decided that was the go despite every man and his dog deciding to head south around the knights. Spent all day pulling plastic and looking for a bait. Got a lollipop skippy, rigged it up. Thaught if theres skippies there must be something else hanging round so deployed him asap. Not long after had a decent muzzie swingin off the end of my shimano Ended up tipping the scales at 112.8kg. Pretty stoked really. Set a life goal of getting one over 100kg solo, so to have it happen on my first go solo and first season game fishing is pretty sweet. Oh this also my first ever marlin so yeah pretty happy. Also cheers to Toots weigh station for the guest weigh and big ups to Kurt and the crew on Hookin Bull for helping me drag the muzzie onboard after the fight and for keeping an eye on me while I was hooked up.
