Peejay - Log - Day 4 Benji Strikes
I got a text message from Benji way back on 19th July. It read - 'Breaking news I just had to share with you - I'm now the proud possessor of 2.5 kilometers of 50 pound fishing line on one reel with 100 pound leader wire. Is that enough?'
Ever since then I've been getting phone calls - 'get me a gaff Dad' or 'the boat needs a rod holder'. And I've delighted in winding him up with comments like 'I'm gonna need a bigger boat'
Well guess who's laughing now. At 1700 the now infamous line started screaming off the reel. About an hour later the mahi-mahi was drinking gin through its gills faster than we could and within 2 hours from the strike it was happily residing in 6 stomachs. I bet the fish didn't have that plan in mind when he woke up in the morning!
Well done son! I take it all back.
Paul & Peejay
