MALDIVES 2011 - Part Two

Small GT on popper...

More smallies, this on a large Orion...

Big GT which pulled the hooks after a long battle on the FCL 81EXT...

Spectacularly, this GT was landed without the use of hooks!

Jobbie on Andaman...

Golden hued Amberjack on Andaman and Poseidon PE-3 rod...

Small GT on FCL SPP swimmer...

GT on Mangrove Studio Searoom pencil...

FCL Labo 80 EXT rod used to good effect...

Maldivian reef predators well-exhibited...

GT on sinking El Nadador stickbait...

The new FCL 81 EXT pushed hard by a good fish...

27kg GT taken on the well-perfoming Mangrove Studio Searoom stickbait...

FCL labo TCP220 accounted for this Red Bass...

Rosy Jobbie from the depths...

Another on Andaman...

More from the school, on Andaman as well...

Quite a few hard fighting Jobfish were landed, and big ones too...

Nassau Grouper a welcome change...

Another Jobbie, taken on FCL Labo VN jig...

Nice Amberjack to signal the end of the Jobfish invasion...

Deep dwelling Nassau Grouper...

Gold Spot Trev on a Hooker in shallow reefs...

The spoils of fishing in paradise...

Easily the biggest Red Bass of the trip...

Drama in the final hours of the trip as a proper GT latched on...

Nice 21kg GT to mark the end of a fruitful maiden popping trip for this angler...

The Mangrove Studio stickbait continued to produce...

And produce...

Until the sun set and the trip came to a close...
