Christ that's a big fish.

Christ that's a big fish. Great photo too. You blokes seem to get onto the big ones pretty frequently. We don't get them over here unfortunately.

I heard they don't fight real hard, or is that just when they blow the swim bladder?

cheers,

He may be a show off Adi but it took him a while to put it up. You or I would have had it up within an hour of hitting the shore! Fantastic fish Gully.

Cheers fellas, Yeah I do

Sat, 2007-05-12 14:59

Cheers fellas,

Yeah I do like the pic and brings back a great memory. Was in excess of 25kg is as close as we can get to its real weight as my 22kg scales were no where near big enough.

Couldnt bring myself to keep another one like that if I was ever fortunate enough to catch one, would have to release it.

Wow!

Looks better straight out of the water for sure. Is that almost the same size as the ones you got put from Point Peron last year?

Cheers

Nice Try

Nice try Andy. Did you happen to notice Gullys comment about not keeping another that size. Might work in our favour if he keeps getting them that big.

Fantastic Fish there Gully. That things bloody enormous. Looks like you were doing it tough that day.

Big Dhuie

Sun, 2007-07-01 13:06

Crikey! That's a burster... Well done!!

I'd say that particular fish has provided many other other dhuies to the local waters!!

Hopefully we can get one that big as well one day. Rory tells me you did pretty well up in Exmouth?

Imagine seeing that beauty swimmin under water whilst your diving, prob chase ya thinking you were food. Awsome fish there Gully. Do you remember what thickness line you were using as some fellas reckon 80lb is too thin. Slide pics are pretty clear as well hey. Make a great slide night    MAXY
