Mr_Willy 3 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 That is a monster of a Silver Perch!! Nice catch! Would've fought well too?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 19 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Cheers fellas . Was awesome and i am still realing from the catch . I will get another rod Tony when i stop catching trophy fish with it ? Its actually my Canoe rod hence the size ?Reckon tonyb means the fisheye lens on the gopro makes your rod look like it has a constant bend in it, hence banana rod. could be wrong?But nah, your rods always bent because theres a massive fish on the end jimbojames 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fished out 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hey guys first post On Strike and Hook. I am pretty stoked that i have finally found a S.A Based fishing site. Mate i had a flick their on Friday (don't worry i know him to)but struck out completely, apart from an dinner plate sized turtle from under that snag in the back ground.I knew their were silvers in a few other dams but not in that one! only ever caught callop from it.P.S Do you notice the outstanding gold in them from here as well? jimbojames 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fished out 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Tony, judging by your avatar you might be interested in this.I just got back from a Reddie Flick and With a fish each between me and my mate a 41cm and 43cm speciemen were landed. It's been amazing really that so far in our redfin season (starts at the end of footy season) We have landed 4 fish one 36cm one 41cm one 43cm and one 42cm. tonyb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbojames 285 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Nice fish Tony . If it is the same place Fished out then we are very lucky fellas , also welcome to the site. Awesome spot . Didn't think about the fish eye lens Kingsley but i hope Tony knows i was taking the piss ? And cheers . I only got less than half the fight on video witch i was spewing about Mr Willy but it was an awesome fight . I had 9lb mono on and a couple of times it was pulling line but i didn't get that unfortunately . Wasn't until it had tired a tad that i could get the camera out ?
