Nelson Keith Shayne together with a group of friends decided to have a trip to
Latham Island, together with Jason and Mady.
Unfortunately in that period, the boat usually used by Jason and Mady was out of the water for servicing,
but, thanks to the ready assistance of Peter Ruysenaars of the Pemba Channel Fishing Club,
Jason Alexiou as a Captain, Maddalena Martinengo as a skipper, and Baraza and Kosmas as mates, managed to
satisfy the request of Nelson and his friends, and venture towards Latham Island, by using one of Peter's boat, Shuwari.
For the occasion, Jason re-fitted the boat with his tackle: lures, rods, rigs and electronics:
the plan was to target dogtooth tuna, but there were too many Giant Trevallies around which were hooking up as soon
as a lure was dropped in the water, without leaving a chance for anything else.
So Jason decided to drop a rainbow runner as a live bait, which was pulled around for almost 20 minutes before
being taken.
The strike was really powerfull.
Nelson picked up the rod.
We all knew that it was a big fish, but we could not recognize what from the fighting attitude: a massive take,
several powerful short runs, broken by periods where it was almost impossible to gain a centimeter of line.
Just the last 10 meters the fish gave up, coming up on the surface with no resistance. Only than we realised that
it was a massive 179.50 kg Giant Grouper.
We thought about releasing it, unfortunately the fish was finished.
Congratulations to Nelson Keith Sayne for the great fight.
Well done Jason Alexiou and Maddalena Martinengo for helping acheive another World Record.
Thank you to Peter for allowing us the complete use of one of his boats.
