I caught a heap of Jacks out on the Tiwis, but that first is very impressive.

Looks like you had a good time.

Only two. We saw them both. Pam had a Black hit her Skitterpop on 4 consecutive casts in the Dagi River, he got the hooks on the fourth hit and decided to keep the lure. He was around 40lb, and a true horse who hooked up too close to the snags. I had a smaller one keep a prototype FCL Labo lure in the Sai River, he was about 30lb and he taught me that 20lb Braid isn't enough when you cast in deep to the snags up there. They're the fish that keep us going back to Baia.
