Cheers, Justin

Looks like a Duel too - nice.

That fish should make the junior IGFA world record if it was weighed on a certified scale, and the proper application was made. I wish they had a junior cat when I caught my world records, I would have had twice as many. Nice catch!

Another great fishing story in the paper today - local shark fisho offers a young lad with autism his rod and he ends up landing a 160kg (350lb) bronzie.
Class ;)

Another solid fish in the paper today - a 411kg (900+lb) Pacific Bluefin (potential record pending):

Good to know they're still out there, and the fishery's being well managed by all accounts...

Wow! that's 906lbs. Justin, I had to go to so. Cal yesterday and didn't realize that my trip would take me right by Morro Bay. If I would have been paying attention I could have stopped by and introduced myself to your brother. Oh Well the next time. Dominick

Dominick - next time, if circumstances allow, please do stop by...
We'll be there from 17-31 Mar, so if there's any chance of catching up - mad keen.
My bro and I rarely get the chance to catch up/surf/ride etc together, so I won't make it north to you, Alan, Bryan and Rob - as much as I'd like to (and as much as I hate to end that sentence in a preposition!) ;) ;D
I'll be in Baja Sur 1-17 Mar if you're down that way - you know where...
All the best mate, Justin
