Thought I'd go for a troll amongst the billfish competitors on friday & went to fenton for zip then over to south gutter. Had a couple of gars skipping out the back & this little bloke jumped on one. Not huge but could have been a tournament winner.........
Didn't see another boat by the way

he torpedoed into the side of the boat despite me telling him to settle down....
big ones fight well, this one came in pretty easy on 15kg spinfisher, but still very acrobatic
caught a 50kg one a few years ago in the shootout, much more fun
sorry for the photo being upside down but you all know the drill, turn your computer over......

Very tasty at that size ... not that you would of course. Ahem.
