I took two friends out on an pretty hefty mission a long way from home.

Here is one of the the amazing catches of the day

Ocea Jigger did the damage using one of our new Electric Koheru Rattle jigs in 300 grams.

Fish bit near the end of the tide on top of a shelf in  170m, 

The scrap was epic and intense.  Locked drags and bent rod.

Fish of a life time

Nah I'll revise that to 48kg. Whatever that big bass weighs it's an impressive fish!
