Kids have started nursery school, got my mornings free again (yeah) wife gives me the green light, so off I went.
conditions fairly flat overcast day. but quite wishy washy in the water (what is the term for that?)
Within 3mins of entering from the beach I`d missed a good sized bream(f#%k) I thought. 5 mins later missed a good sea bass it was a sreal sitter too. It was a very fishy day bass were everywhere, neve seen so many. I didnt land one.......one of those days.
I hit a big Ishidai, which would have been a PB for that species for my. bigger than the one in my bear hug thread. but through the guts he got off, sadly I could not find him. As time went by various and numerious misses later I decided to turn around and try to get something on the way back. but before I did I thought I`d better at swim to the end of the tetra pods down to the shallow end.
3m deep I was heading under a tetra pod and I saw him. Thought it was a bream, colour wrong. then I thought what could it be. BANG polespear into the head. DEAD. the spear didnt penetrate right in and part of the flopper was still out side of the skull. PANIC. string it before it kicks to life.
A little struggle getting the stringer in, all is good. Then I realized what I had. A MOTHER OF A PINKIE. OMFG.
85cm
7.1 kg my best fish by far, shore dive with a polespear.
my previous biggest was a 82cm bass. but never had it wieghed.
I took this fish to my local fishing shop to be weighed and they did a gyotaku for me. fish print. For those of you who do your own prints, in japan when fish is served the head is always to the left, so with the prints the head is always to the left.
My swim back was followed up by more misses with the bass. but I didnt manage a good bream 45cm, and two huge cuttlefish. made for a very happy day.
