TWO GIANT TREVALLY OVER ONE METRE

Week three welcomed the return of the three Irish brothers back to the Seychelles, Mark, Greg, and Niall Turley, seasoned angler Bill Roberts, David Powter, Greg Barnes, Dan Christensen, Nick Baird, Allen Morrison, and Peter Rippen.

The weather played its part for most of the week, with a few passing squalls from time to time. However, that didn’t damper spirits as fish were caught throughout the week.

A grand total of 92 GTs were landed this week on Cosmoledo, two of them well exceeding the one metre mark, along with a moustache triggerfish and some bonefish were thrown into the mix.

Sadly there were some large fish lost at the beginning of the week. However, the last few days produced two fish over 100 cm. Dan Christensen landed his biggest GT, a very impressive 114 cm GT smashing the popper. Peter Rippen, however, topped that with his personal biggest, a monster 118 cm GT in the surf, truly a fish of a lifetime.

On the last day, Allen Morrison had a stellar week by landing several decent GTs and was the only moustache triggerfish of the week.

In all, it was a great week with some exceptional Irish and Scottish Whiskey enjoyed by all in the evenings over the recent war stories of fish landed and fish lost, with the latter always seeming to be bigger than the fish caught…
