Default Carpenter rod testing .



Guys ,

Went fishing yesterday to P.Ratu with 6 others , we fished 2 boats team and what was planned a tuna fishing session turned out to be a rod testing session , specifically Carpenter BC75MH ( rated PE3-5 only ) when
I accidentally hooked a 5m whale shark .

My team mates " pass " the chance to fight the fish and we managed to transfer the rod to the other boat where the other 4 anglers took turns to fight the fish , in the end the leader broke .

Not that we want to boat the fish but rather , I asked them to try and retrieve the new type of Gombong lure being tested by yours trully for
final approval for release in the upcoming Nov./Dec. fishing season .

Jon .
