howzit guys.

i decided yesterday afternoon to try for something toothy somewhere on the false bay side. so i got to my destination and was joined by subaruseun at around 11:30. around 00:30am i decided to make a gooi aas from a small smoothound, to have it ready for the pushing tide,. well, 2 hours later my rod tip dipped and bounced, and i picked up my rod and freespooled the fish as she moved away slowly... after about 15 meters i clipped the clutch back over and hit her about 6 times.there were huge head shakes and strong steady runs, but not like a bronzie,so i suspected it to be a raggie.. well, to make a long storie short, the fight was between 10 to 15 minutes, and the female raggie was measured 168cm by subaru seun, after wich she was tagged and swam off strongly. the measurements converts her weight to 87.40kgs.

i was really chuffed! thanks Subaru. ek sou gesukkel het sonder jou hulp!!

Lekker vis ou stinkie...

just a question? u say that ''there were huge head shakes and strong steady runs, but not like a bronzie,so i suspected it to be a raggie''

so this would be similar to a lekker size kobbie?

also i  never caught a bronzie or raggie but how and what is the major difference between the two. for me a rag looks like dead weight whereas a bonzie looks like a bullet!!!!!

@stinkmossel. Nice fish!!! Hope that is the beginning of many rags!!!

@elf. A bronzy looks like a bullet because its designed for high speeds!!! It usually feeds off of the dolphins leftovers!!! And a rag is not designed for high speeds!!! A bronzy goes like a bullet and a rag is more like a truck with only fumes in the tank!!
