    all caught trolling,the top two were within minute of starting run,wife got middle fish while still letting line out,hadnt shut bail arm yet,took with whack and gave her one hell of a fright LOL. I got the smallest one next only 50-100 yards away,then wife caught n lost one,landed another smaller one,released it...I decided to go for hoom across to far end of lake,a long troll for nought then the biggest fish as light was fading,it might have gone 3 pounds....all have beautiful orange flesh.....all filleted ready to batter and fry now
    life is good.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    61...that's my boy!! Two epic days and we've reached our 100!! Good luck out there.
    I was at your Manawatu a few weeks ago and it was poopy brown...I was only there for a second or I woulda tried to track down the local trout slayer extraordinaire
