Very interesting trip out wide recently – had a whale shark swim under the boat at anchor then stopped to scratch his back on the hull! Lucky it wasn’t a big one.

Rick got close up and personal with a 16ft hammer in 2 metres of water. It was a peaceful meeting though.

Managed to land about 2 goldies each and had a ball trying to hit fast moving Macks in 25m of water. A big boy came in close for a look, he was so thick around the shoulders I reckon you couldn’t have got your arm around it. He has 2 long scares done his side. He was a bruiser and we chose wisely to let him move on rather than tangle with it.

any one eaten rainbow runner? saw heaps of them.

I ate rainbow runner of the back of a patrol boat a few years ago it was pretty good, we hooked one at the Brumbys last weekend but lost it at the boat. One of they guys from sydney started screaming 'king'kingy,' I suppose they do look a bit like one.

Justin - no one can stop a big tiger nailing you from behind. But we move on when the ones we can see get frisky.

Stuart - it was at least 7 metres long.
