    Lava got a reaction from Kat in Update on my Whitsundays trip. Big Barra and my first big GT!   
    Ended up taking out a charter for the day, wasn’t very keen on casting lures all day. My back was absolutely fried from Barra fishing the days previous. So me and the old man chose to just use good old fashioned bait. We caught a few schoolies and reefies and kept some for dinner later that day. After watching a guy on the trip lose about $200 worth of lures in just a few hours it felt like the right choice. At the end of the day we stopped into our final spot and for some reason I felt the urge to give it a go almost like what the heck do I have to lose haha. I was shocked at how big the poppers are you use for these fish. I was just trying to learn technique and get a feel for big poppers. Nothing like I’ve used before tbh. After about 5 casts i got the hang of it somewhat, when all of a sudden I got smacked by a massive GT. Craziest fight I’ve ever had on rod and reel it was so epic. I almost done a summer salt on the hookup 😂 I was not expecting it at all. I was ready to go home. I was already happy with the days catch. It was pretty magical tbh being in a place like that, during a crazy sunset. Last cast of the day. Definitely got the GT bug! So yeah he’s the GT and Barra I caught in 2 days. 
    P.s if anyone has any idea what lure that is in the picture I’d like to know because I’m looking at buying a full GT setup and would love to know what lure I was using for my first big one. Cheers guys!
