Took just over half an hour to land. Darren later repeated the feat with a 80-90lb GT with the same gear and landed it after an hour and a 3km chase on the skiff.Will get a photo of this fish to you from Darren as I wasn't there at the time. Great effort and the gear held up.Can't believe the rod survived! Way too light for these fish.Need a 13wt at least and double handed. We had a great trip and lots of bones caught. Interesting that the average size was better than our other trips.Peter Church got two big ones between 8 and 9 lbs. but we saw many that were well over 10lb but couln't get any to take a fly. The Radian is a fantastic rod to use and my other favourite the XXXXX (wouldn't be fair on the competitors to say) now relegated to number two. Cheers, Brian.
