Their tremendous respect for their precious lagoon and the environment were inspirational. Some of the bigger fish slammed us against the sides of the boat a few times which was all part of the fun. We lost one absolute horse of a GT which snapped the rod and was fought by hand before pulling the hooks boat side; Etienne estimated it at around 70kg! All fishermen survived, and only one fish didn&#8217;t make it back into the lagoon.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations and thank you to all at the Ocean Blue team!<\/p>\n<p>Tom Offerman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our 5 day fishing trip with Ocean Blue far exceeded our expectations.
