...just off Rottnest Island - (an island off the coast of Perth, 30 mins by ferry, an hour by boat)...I had been wanting to catch something big and stopped with Clay just off Thompson Bay. We had some big lines and bait and I cast off...then wham, my line was very tight, I had to follow the fish all the way up and down and around the boat. Clay was setting up his line (he is a gentlemen always getting my line set up first), so I was on my own, and I was getting very tired...luckily the salmon fish wrapped itself around the anchor chain and after 10 minutes tired itself out. Meanwhile, I am yelling back to Clay, "hon, take over" it had been a good 20/30 mins of huffing and puffing. Thank goodness Clay pulled it in...I wasn't going to try being 4 months pregnant (with Codi).

Clay, as you can imagine hurriedly grabbed his own rod and was VERY CHUFFED catching a really big salmon fish, bigger than mine (wink)

They arent very yummy tasting fish, yet everyone at Rotto (Geordie Bay) came down to have a look. The salmon fish ended up as the main ingredient in fish curry...

I must say I have islander (filipino) in my blood comes out when I fish, I always seem to catch something to get excited about...and stroke Clay's competitive side - lol

Matt is also a very keen fisher...one day we'll all have to go on a big fish
