I think it was either a large couta or a grouper that grabbed a Tropical Yellow Tail.

I've recently done a few 350gr and 450gr one Piece CD (Composite Development) in 1 piece.

Serious stuff and I rate the blank a lot higher than the 350 and 450's I did on the Black Hole blanks.

Did both Spin reel and overhead configs and 2 of the overheads in Spiral "Acid Wraps"

I haven't pulled fish on them except on the simulator but expect to see a few reports early next year after the Kilwa and Bassas trips are finished and the reports are in.

The PE 6 and 8 Popping reports should join these reports

Nice one Benny...

Tight lines put some proper bends in the rods this coming season.

Sorry boss...

I am stuck in Jhb this season again.

Have not been on the deep blue since early 09 in Angola...

Your reports are vital to keep me dreaming...
