Queen Fish
Date: 28-03-2010 Time: 9.45am Rod: Penn Slammer 11.6ft Reel: Shimano Torium 20 Line: 30lbs Braided join with 40lbs mono leader Rig: Cable car Bait: Live Herring(Tamban)
Went back to the jetty this morning around 7am. Tide was on the way up. Setup two set of tackle and casted out. Add on cable car rig when live bait available. Nothing happen until tide was full and started to turn down. I was winding back one of the rod to change bait when my other rod torium alarm went off. Ah An was close by and he pickup the rod and strike. I took over and the fish make a acrobatic jump on the water surface. Knowing it was a queen fish, I told An no need to prepare gaff as the water was high. I bring it close and An use his hand to grab my leader to lift it up. It weigh about near to two kg.
2.4kg Grouper

While I started to fillet the queen fish, suddenly I hear them shouting “oh tio tio tio” and my Daiwa Emblem reel go “Zzzz zzzz”. Ah An again the first one to reach and strike. As my hand is dirty with blood now, I ask An to fight. He fought for awhile and told me he not use to my right handle spinning reel. Haha…no choice I had to wash hand and take over. Now the fish has follow the current flow and moving to my left. I had to bring the rod and cross over two rod parking high up before I able to pump the rod again. It didn’t struggle much as I manage to bring it close. Upon surface…“Wow” the crowd that watching gave a good shout as they saw a fat grouper on the water. Ah An bring in his gaff and lift it up. It weigh 2.4kg just 0.1kg short of even my personnal best on grouper on surfcasting.
