A Perfect Day

What is a perfect day for me? Well, last year on the outer reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, over 300 miles from the coast of Australia I had a perfect day... well... it was pretty close.

The water was warm and blue with a visibility over 130 ft, the seas were slight and there were Wahoo everywhere. My mate Taka took his first wahoo and I took my biggest to date 75lbs.

We managed to catch some of the action on video and here is the clip I made:

Cheers,

Judge

Re: A Perfect Day

Hey Angela. We had a great year on the Coral Sea outer reefs with the wahoo. My good friend Ash even took the Australia Wahoo record with a 50kg specimen. We head up there Oct - Dec. After that it is in the tropical cyclone (Hurricane) season and not a good time to travel to those reefs.
Cheers,
Judge

Awright Judge, so once you are done with the Coral Sea, the timing would be so that you can just come on over to Hawaii!

Thanks for your comments on the Perfect Day video. I appreciate the feed back. I have not long returned from the Coral Sea... 2007 trip and I have knocked up a couple of videos and posted them on a new thread... Called Out in the Blue.
