Thanks for your kind comments gentlemen.

Daryl:
The flyline is a clear-intermediate tarpon taper with braided core, and I have never broken one on a fish however an old one popped some years ago when I lost patience trying to free it from a deep snag. My friends continually warn me about the lack of a sacrificial weak link in my leader, but so far so good! The rod is a 9-weight BTW, and the line is a 10.

9.3x64mm:
You would only give those fish to the mother-in-law if her recipe for nummas was better than yours!

Most of those fish were released but a good number went to our hosts who seem to prefer them over barra.

Also managed another couple of 'milestones' with the long wand on that weekend:
a PB Long Tom at around 1.2 metres....

...and my first ever Queensland Groper on fly. Luckily only a juvenile, as those things grow to 1.8 metres! As it was, he went under a rock for a while and I had to wait for him to swim back out!

Aren't they gorgeous?!
