It was the big one that got away. Fishing is one of the biggest sports in SOuth Africa and there are plenty a fisherman who drives a Hilux. Share your passion for this sport in this section
It's a sign of how we as humans have abused mother nature and our planet, where just 20 to 30 yrs ago we used to catch them regularly and a lot bigger than that. I have long since lost my zest for fishing.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
That's about in line with my visual estimation of about 7kg. Still a nice catch!

Well i think you pulled the last one out there... was next to the Pavillion this morning... only 3 small sharks and hardly a bite... maybe I'm just too impatient... haha!
About 15 years ago i caught my first steenbras 15km south of Terracebay, namibia and it came in just under 15kG's(i think i was around 13 years old) my dad use to call them "treine" if the take your line it is locomotive style... We normally used lobster tail pieces to land these guys. We caught quite a few that day the only problem is the photos i have is all developed negatives, no handy digital stuff that days hey...

yep that blou triene does give you quite a run for you money...or tackle that is...
even this relatively small one gave me a good workout. That first run with the drag screaming... things dreams are made of.
The west coast / namibian steenbras is alot fatter /stouter than the SA cousin, which looks alot more torpedo shaped. But a trein is a trein... beautiful fish non the less.
