This Fish was caught in the Musandam in Oman.

Caught using:
Rod: Race Point 200
Reel: Stella 20000
Line: Tuff Line XP 100lb
Lure: Alua 140g

This rod is pure power and works a stick bait perfectly

Thats A bute,

They are one of the best kg for kg fighting fish I have caught, and they are the one of the best to hunt.

I have been to Fiji, Samoa, Thailand , and Tonga and the best i was able to do was 33kg  so good on you congrats they are fishing at it's best .

I was fishing with Ocean Active.
The Musandam is an amazing place. Southern Oman is the place to fish at the moment 50kg+ GTs and Amberjack are caught often. Ocean Active do trips out there to.
All i can say is that the Race Point 200 is a beast of a rod i highly recomend it. Sami has caught a few 50kg+ gts with this rod in Southern Oman, its a stick baiting rod with loads of back bone.

Wicked dude, that is a great GT Clap

I have seen some of Sami's photo's of Southern Oman and also some from Ed at No Boundaries... It looks like another world, definitely on the bucket list.

Sami, knows how a a rod must be made. Since his rods have come out none have broken since i spoke to him 4 months ago, that says enough.
