Dhu-o-saurus
With mint conditions yesterday, decided I needed to skive off work at lunch and have a fish. After the guy formerly known as the guy who fishes a lot with Scano (hehe) could not make it, and Baron could not make it, I took Baron's old man Ken Snr. I did a trip with Baron and Ken Snr to the Monties a few years ago that Ken Snr had organised, so a good way to finally pay back a favour.
Was a cracker of an arvo but started slow with fish totally shutdown until Ken got this badboy, officially the biggest Dhu caught on my boat at a measured 103 cm! Kenny Snr is about 70 not out and combined with a dodgy shoulder, this gave him a monumental work-out on his 6000 size reel. Top stuff! Unfortunately baratrauma was pretty bad and there was no releasing this old girl.
Ended with a KG, baldie and 65cm dhu on KG gear in the shallows on the way in.
