Sorry guys not to get in a tiff here but what's the use or difference in advocating thicker tippet but once the hatches comes off 3X-4X here we come?
So in short,do u catch yellows on dry using 2x tippet?

Interesting point, but I haven't seen anyone 'advocating' tippets. I had a 4X tippet on because I was expecting to find smaller fish on the day. But I doubt a 2X or 3X would have shortened the fight by any considerable amount with a fish of this size.
The 4X stood the test!

You are a perishable item. Live accordingly.
I blanked, but I learnt a wack from Ian, I can really recommend going on a guided trip with him, he is really good.
But, I can tell you, it is superhard work if you are not used to it...I was casting for about 8hrs, ave of 20m...I did quite well as I managed to present about an inch or two from the target zones..but it wwas not to be hey...
My body is so stiff today...hard work man...I will definately go and do it again hey...

Congrats Graham!
That is truly a nice fish and from where I was standing that looked like a monster
As for tippet size I just want to say the at the end of the day it's about you,
your tackle your confidence and the fish.
Dry lines don't catch fish!
Very nice fish Graham! Thats definitely one to remember
As far as the tippet thing goes, I agree with you and skerpieon. Fish with what you comfortable with (within the boundaries conserving the fish obviously) and I doubt whether stepping up your tippet would have made a difference anyways. Nice one
