とうとうやりましたよ夢のモンスターマーレーコッド。ここまで辿り着くまでにあった多くの壁。毎回通う事に見えてくるコッドの習性。今まではやっと掛けたと思えば痛恨のバラシで終わってた大型のマーレーコッド。
今回は4回目の挑戦でコプトンダムの呪縛から解き離れ、夢のメーターオーバーを獲る事が出来ました。
今回は大型のスイムベイト160gを一日中投げ続け、出逢えたこの1匹。コモドと言う竿が無ければ体力的に半日も持たなかったかも知れません。
やはり諦めずに投げ続ける事、そしてそれを可能にしてくれる道具達。更に今回の弾丸トリップに付いて来てくれた仲間。
改めて色々と大事な事を確認させて貰えるいい釣りトリップでした。ありがとう。※詳しいタックルデータは一番最後に記載
Copeton Dream Monster Murray Cod.
This was my 4th trip to copeton and this time also copeton dam was tricky after the comp. We couldnt find any cod on surface and had to fish where ppl dont fish usually. And I was driving to the next spot, and I found a spot X where my instict said to go…..
and we went into little timberland and started casting.
I knew I was gonna hook up in this area and I remembered I was really concentrating on every wind of Ryoga….. and when she bite the lure I set the hook with one short strike and tried not to fight hard….. but she tried to pull into timber and 5kg drag was didnt really help her stop going to timber. I had to end up thumbing the spool and stopped her couple times, then she went crazy with couple headshakes and tried to cut leader with nasty teeth… This time copeton dam was kind to me and she was in the net half way We had to bring this up with good support she finally hit on the deck
Then I checked the swimbait and realised the hook was strighten and heavy sprit ring was half way opened She couldve got me this time again but luckily not this time…. We took a couple photos and quickly put her back into water and released safely So much effort went into breaking the copeton curse and bringing up the magic meter. I will definitely come back and chase an Australian iconic fish MURRAY COD, KING OF THE FRESHWATER!!!
THANKS for the fishman providing such an amazing rod to cast a mega swimbait all day and night with ease.
Thanks Joe for letting me to christen your new ryoga.
And thanks alex for helping me everything during this trip.
