Heavy weather off Somalia in the Indian ocean, I noticed a crack in the base of the ships mast & told the officers onboard, no one did anything & 7 hours later.... CRASH it all came down on the bridge wing!! TURN AROUND!!!! sitting in a nice hotel now waiting for it to be fixed........

No fish today

The only thing I caught was seaweed on my lures, ALL DAY!!!! Had a seal follow in the prop wash for 30 minutes, very close...

To much wind to fish...

Trolling today has been cancelled due to the weather but it's forecast to come down to 6m/s tomorrow so it gave me a chance to do some maintenance, I put a double split links on a few flutter spoons for a little more flexibility.....

Grän 12.7Kg

Out with 2 friends, Graeme & Leif, 12:05 the right side line next to the planer board released & zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz............ Fish on! After 30 minutes the fish was aboard, 12.7Kg of silver, this is my personal best but hopefully not for long :-) For those interested, the fish took a yellow/silver Ismo Mag with a 20 gram lead one rod length in front of the lure.  The lure was 120' behind the release so it was close to the surface, exactly the same setup as the last 7.2Kg fish at Landsort..... The fish coughed up Spig (sticklebacks) when it was aboard.
