Today Wal Muffett had a good time with a giant trevally as per the photos - awesome. Wal used one of his Wedgetails on this fish.
Yesterday Wal caught 3 coral trout on his lures, at 48 cm, 55 cm and 58 cm. |

8lb line?
Holy hell, that's an effort. Must have had some spare time on his hands. |

Mono Danny, Wal doesn't use any braid at all. He prefers the Scheinider line, a little bit thicker but very abrasion resistant.

Let's just say that Wal was happy to stop casting to bommies and troll for a while afterwards for a while An hour before hand Wal was hit by a massive GT while popping about 5 metres from the boat. That thing had a head about 40 cm wide. That thing was huge all in about 3 metres of water over a reef.

It was part of a Shimano combo that he bought at BCF some time ago for $99. It consisted of a Catana rod with some little slim line overhead reel on it - the combo he uses for sooty grunter.
