GREAT STORIES AND PICT
Andre van Greunen from Gauteng sent us this exciting report about his
stepson Brendan’s first Tuna catch at Protea Banks. They were fishing off
his uncle’s Sodwana Cat, called ‘Wild Thing” - which is equipped with a
Lowrance Elite 5 unit.
Andre says, “12-year-old Brendan loves to assist and, on this day, we had
four reels screaming simultaneously and my brother and I were busy
fighting fish, when Brendan asked to help - because the unattended lines
were causing havoc and coming close to the props.
“I told him to take one rod and tighten the drag and just hold on to stop
the Tuna from stripping more line and a possible crossover with our fish
on the lines.
“The Tuna literally dragged him on his stomach across the boat and he got
stuck between the stainless bars at the back between the motors, but he
just held on for life. We cleared the other lines and then told him to finish
the job on the Tuna, which by now was spent and he managed the final
pull without any assistance.
“He is absolutely Tuna crazy now - with this also being the biggest fish of
the December break, and beating both his dad and uncle.
Weighed and witnessed at Shelly Ski Boat Club (on their
scale) at 14kg - Brendan was added onto the club’s new
Junior Catch Board.” Well done Brendan!
Anton also fishes off his jetski which is fitted with a Lowrance Hook2
5HDI unit.
