Tida was on the way down. Current flow is strong. Bait is lasting at this moment.

I just change a new herring bait and cast out and about to walk away. Suddenly my reel scream. Pickup the rod and gave a hard strike. Yes…hard pulling there. Its struggle hard with the help of the strong current. Slowly I gain control and wind it back. But before surface up, it take a last dive downward. I had to thumb the spool to avoid it go too deep. I pump it up and a big Marine Cat fish appear on the water. It was too heavy to lift it up by the rod so I got my friend to grab hold of my leader and pull it up. It hit the scale at 4.2kg.
