And you know what that means!SWITCHTOG-BOMBI decided to switch to an orange/lime Ocean Angler 80g G-Bomb lure with a bright yellow chartreuse skirt. The colours looked good and being a new snapper lure, I wanted to try it out.Before long on the first drift near the diving gannets and I felt a strong tug on my fishing rod. Suddenly, my line pulled up tight, and with such a big bend in the rod both myself and dad knew right away that I had hooked a kingfish!It was a tough battle that followed as the kingfish took a lot of line and dad was excited as he steered the boat to follow the ika to help me regain line, and all I could hear were my crewmates cheering me on, saying, "Let\'s go Nay Nay, let\'s go!"
