Oct.6 - Melbourne Beach

Man, I've been trying to get one of these all Fall. Hooked and lost a number of them, but, finally got mine today. And they said they couldn't be landed from the surf !

Fishing Coconut Point just at false dawn. Casting a Stetzko Needlefish when it hit! Four or five long runs then it just slugged it's way into the wash with several jumps. Then, another big run, away offshore, at least 200 yards !

Finally got it into the wash, slid it onto a wave, and landed it ! Don't know what it weighs yet, cause three shops have refused to let me bring it inside to weigh it. Just gotta keep trying cause, it's gotta be a record Asterisk Fish taken from the beach. The trunk of my car is beginning to stink. Maybe I should drive it over to IGFA to weigh it. Gotta find someone to weigh it or take it to the landfill.

Please don't tell the phone company.

Am I missing something here??? Fishing Joke I dont get???

lol Asterisk fish... come on mike.

Dude, ur right. I shouldve figured this one. Guess it was the whole "it made these long runs and leaped from the water..." part that threw me off.
