Wilfried headed Hawkins this time, with Jean Michel, his last trip’s mate. Weather conditions are excellent. Wil would like to improve his doggy record (of 64.5kg) and catch a big shark. He owns a record at Rod Fishing Club already. During the night of the 19 November 2009, on the Eastern Bank, he fought a big bull shark for 6 hours and 15mn on a jigging tackle! Jean Michel does not have preferences. He only wants to have fun!

Beautiful rises of yellowfin tunas (23kg for the biggest), wahoos (16kg for the biggest) and rainbow runners livened up the trolling session. A 45kg sailfish and a stunt black  marlin between 110 and 120kg complete this 89h trip. But for once, jigging and baiting did not fulfil our friends’ expectations. Only a few doggies (20kg for the biggest), seriolas, jobfish and a beautiful released giant trevally of 25kg characterized this session. However, Wil improved the club record of rainbow runner with a piece of 9.5kg. Congratulations WIL!

But if all your dreams and desires are still not satisfied, you will then have good reasons to come back…
