Thanks, George!

The week before Thanksgiving, we went to the Seychelles, Alphonse Island Resort, on a Tailwaters hosted trip.

The class tippet has to be a minimum of 15", not counting the knots. Using a brand new, 30 yard spool of Rio 2kg/4.4lb tippet when we began the trip, on the sixth and last day, there was enough material remaining for five class leaders. Three broke that morning, so I was on my fourth leader. With a different strategy suggested by the guide, Andrew Mayo, and some fortuitous luck, I finally had a 1 pound fish that didn't break the line.


Now, it's a waiting game.

looking forward to hearing more about this!

I blogged this adventure and included a few pictures. Even though it is Pending, I am finally getting excited. I do still have doubts in the back of my mind due to what happened to a client of guide Kirby LaCour from Southern Louisiana. At least, the parts for which I was responsible have been completed to satisfaction. Everything else is out of my hands.

Way to go! Loved your blog post!

Thank you, Casting 4 Bass!

Another requirement met: The 15lb. BogaGrip was returned by IGFA and is certified through 12/2012 weighing true at all five weighing increments. Therefore the weight of the fish is accurate according to IGFA standards.

Did you catch any bonefish?

Danman,

We caught two days worth of Bonefish. It was a lot of fun. Cody caught a 6.25 pound Bonefish. Here's a good doubles of Cody and I. I quit targeting them on Day 2, because I was saving myself for the Bluefin.

It is official!! I found out today that I did set the IGFA record for Bluefin Trevally in the 2 kg class tippet. Poor Cody, I whooped and hollered and startled the poor man to death when I found out.

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Congratulations!

Thank you very much!
