Who ever thought that I’d one day be able to claim to have landed a Bronze Whaler or “Bronzie†of more than 150 kg...You must understand...I’m just a Vaalie with a rod and a reel wanting a bit of action...The problem...I don’t get to the water often enough...
I remember my first Bronzie with old “Klipvis†at Macassar a number of years back...I still wore an ESA shirt on the photo...and this baby must have been about 8 kg’s... I remember being taught how to wade the channels to get sort of close to the back line on these shallow beaches. I remember how clean my sinuses were after such a day session with all the swimming in this “saline solution†and how many caps and sunglasses I’ve sponsored to the ocean here. I remember losing my first real big shark on a circle hook after I uttered the following words: “The only thing that could go wrong now is the hook could pull...†and it did! This was the beach where I learnt so much about fishing for sharks and the bug really bit me for the first time...
