A lifetime dream materialised on Saturday night at 6.30pm, Awatoto, Napier. 7min from home. My wife wanted to go home so I asked my fellow fisher Nick to watch my rods as I took her back. When I arrived back Nick was standing by my rods and he let me know one had bent over as I drove off. "Bugger" I said "never mind I will pull it in and rebait it". " I think it is still on, it has done a couple of good runs" he replied. So in I wound and 15min later on the beach was my horse. A beautiful big 10.585kg well proportioned and awesome conditioned snapper. I danced, I yahooed and I shared a couple of bourbons of Nicks. I think he was as stoked as I was. Unreal.
