Caught my first Watson's Leaping Bonito this morning on my first outing to Port Hacking. Didn't get a measure but I guess it came in at the 40-50cm mark. Christened my newly purchased Shimano Zodias 270H with a simple Sienna 4000 reel with 20lb braid and 20lb leader. Threw out a 15g Halco Twisty as a Hail Mary as I was wrapping up the session and managed to hook the bonito. Had another one go for it a few casts later but couldn't hook it before I had to head home.
