Although massive fish can be landed by chance, as
I am targeting massive fish with my tackle balance and improving my technique,
I was able to land this fish even with my troubles during the fight.
It was a very valuable fish for me, and am sure it has brought me closer to catching an even larger super size GT.

The strength of my fishing system has evolved through my various trips and is currently perfect.
The rod, reel, spool, line, leader, sleaves, lures, split-rings, hooks, rain-wear,
cap, polarized lens, and line systems are all perfect!
I would like to thank the manufacturers who support my fishing.
