#gamtoosriver #fishingsouthafrica #fishingeasterncape #fishingtutorial #fishingtechniques #mulloway I was fishing on the Gamtooos River putting some footage together for a 'How to catch Summer Garrick' when this 166cm 50kg Dusky Kob (Mulloway) ate my Trophy Tail 3/8oz Bucktail. Fishing with a light setup, I was put to the test on one of the strongest fights I've had in a very long time. With some great help from Layton and his friend we managed to capture the entire experience including a stunning tag and release. What a privilege, what an experience! My tackle choice was not intended to target Kob of this size, but how wonderful it felt to be 100% confident...especially when the chips are on the table! My Okuma experience continues to grow in confidence and I'm already looking forward to the next round of test!
