Nelson Keith Shayne together with a group of friends decided to visit Jason and Mady and have some days fishing.
Unfortunately in that period, the boat usually used by Jason and Mady was out of the water for servicing, but,
thanks to the ready assistance of Peter Ruysenaars of the Pemba Channel Fishing Club, Jason Alexiou with Maddalena as a skipper,
and Baraza and Cosmas as mates, managed to satisfy the request of Nelson and his friends, and venture towards Latham Island,
by using one of Peter's boat, Shuwari.
For the occasion, Jason re-fitted the boat with his tackle: rods, lures, rigs and electronics;
the plan was to target dogtooth tuna, but there were too many Giant Trevallies around which were hooking up as soon as a lure was dropped in the water, without leaving a chance for anything else.
So Jason decided to drop a rainbow runner as a live bait, which was pulled around for almost 20 minutes before being taken.
The strike was really powerfull.
Nelson picked up the rod.
We all knew that it was a big fish, but we could not recognize what from the fighting attitude: a massive take, several powerful short runs, broken by periods where it was almost impossible to gain a centimeter of line.
Just the last 10 meters the fish gave up, coming up on the surface with no resistance.
Only than we realised that it was a massive 179.5 kg Giant Grouper.
We thought and wanted to release it, unfortunately all our efforts were not successfull.
Congratulations to Nelson Keith Shayne for the great fight.
