Largest GT on Fly in the Maldives for 2007!

Filed Under (Saltwater) by fishingh on 15-01-2008

As we begin the new year 2008, we want to set new records both for quantity and size of fish caught. I’ll definitely try to make my annual “pilgramage” to Maldives, definitely one of the hottest saltwater fishing spots on planet earth! Our trip in May of 2007 resulted in possibly the most fly caught bonefish on a fishing trip in the Maldives. In 5 days of fishing, we landed almost 100 bonefish. The most bonefish caught by a single angler in a single day was 9.

However the highlight of the May 2007 trip has to be the largest GT caught on fly. This is a hefty 22kg monster caught by Henry Lau of Coho flyshop, on a 8wt rod in 4 foot of water from the shore. It took a little size 4 Crazy Charlie meant for bonefish. The GT took out backing like it was on steroids and we managed to get the little skiff to Henry on time to help give chase. The fish took him and the skiff a kilometer from the shore before it was landed after one solid hour of sweat. Here is a picture of this awesome fish!

We will be be trying our best to break the record both for quantity and size of fish this 2008!

Wish us luck!

    Hi There

    We are going to Kuredu island at the end of the year. Can you fish off the island and have you fished at the island before?
