Nimble Jack Bags Fat Hen

Jack Halstead showed an interest in salmon fishing towards the end of last season. I took him to a local sports shop and got him a 7 foot one piece rod suitable for casting and retrieving Z spinners. As Jack's dad has an ample supply of Abu reels they were able to match the rod with a 6500 loaded with 10kg line. Down at MacIntosh's hole on the Waimak Jack soon had good control over his casts, only hitting his father in the back once! Mid morning Jack hooked up and landed this very nice 8kg salmon out of dad's inflatable boat. In true fisherman sportsmanship, many of the anglers present called out their congratulations, which made dad very proud indeed.
