Top catch dude! 🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟
Ben with his first fish of the night and a new PB at 126cm… which lasted all of about 10 minutes before he backed it up by catching and releasing a 129cm beast! 🎣
The best part about his mulloway success this season is that last year we didn’t get one despite plenty of trips. This year was looking like more of the same, then we lost two in one night, which really fired him up and made him absolutely hell bent on catching one.
The last thing I wanted was him jagging one on his first attempt and spoiling him.
It took me years of fishless nights, making mistakes and slowly working out how to catch these fish from the beach, but that only made it all the more worthwhile when the constant grinding finally paid off. And while he didn’t quite have it that hard, he still put in plenty of hours trying to catch his first one.
