Been back from Vava`u just on a week now, and I am still buzzing about the fishing, Got to Vava`u at 5.30pm and was fishing from Kurt Carlsen`s whaler at 7.30am the next morning, got wasted on my 5th cast by a GT that just wasnt fussed with 65lbs braid so I put the 80lbs braid on, it took a little bit longer to get the next take, but boy, you sure know your hooked up, it is the most exciting fishing i have done, I felt excited, amazed and frightened all in one, took about 15mins to get it too the boat, Kurt carefully gaffed it in the jaw and then spent the next 3-4 mins with his hand in its mouth trying to get the Yo-zuri slider stickbait out of its mouth, next fish was to my mate Jim, smaller fish dropped at the boatside, then next cast he hooks up big also, his fish was a good bit bigger than mine, Kurt estimated it at 30kgs plus, great fish, and all returned to fight another day,   That night we boarded Jeff le Strange`s boat MV Hakula, 6hrs later we where fishing at a volcanic island with great structure around the edges, trolled some dead-baits and got some Doggies, all small ones, then we went over to a sea-mount, this is where we started to Jig, after a few various table fish ( Jobfish, Coral trout, potato cod ) I hook up big time, a good hard 25mins and my prize appears out of the depths, a GT of 30kgs plus, this was gaffed in the head so had to go in the fish-hold, I was over the moon, set a goal of a 20kg plus GT and scored 2 well over that, a dream forfilled,We fished for another 3 days on MV Hakula, caught allsorts of fish, even a Sailfish, and lots of heads, sharks are pretty quck over there,All in all it was a BRILLIANT fishing holiday, cant thank Jeff and his team and Kurt for giving us such a good time, making plans on what next Kurt Carlsen with his hand in a GT`s gob, Brave man!
