Usually when i am fishing for Tomans,i use live catfish as bait and the rod is resting on the stand.The reel is a shimano baitrunner.
This Morning While waiting for the Toman to bite i used a lighter rod to do some precision casting without hooks,just a sinker. When i was doing the precision casting i saw a big school of Toman fries coming towards me.Removed the sinker and
hooked on the pencil without a leader.Cast into school and twitched,bang and fish on.
Rod is a SeaHawk,CamoScorpion,line weight 10 to 18 lbs,length 5ft 6ins.Reel is a Abu Garcia Cardinal 801 with 20 lbs braid.
About 15 seconds after fish on,there was no resistance in retrieving my lure.I thought i lost it.Then it was fish on again.Landed the fish and to my horror the whole back of the lure was bitten off.The way i see it ,when the 1st fish on,that Toman bit off the whole back treble hook,then came another Toman and bit the centre of the lure.
Weight of Toman,8 kgs,Length 32ins or 2ft 8ins.
