Yakmando 49 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Yesterday arvo I caught my PB Salmon, a 5kg beauty caught on a 1500 reel, and bream rod, on 5lb braid and 8lb leader, with a 20 gram knight. Was awesome to catch off a reef, and very hard cover. Was caught off Cummins jetty Caught heaps of others between 30-60cm(a real mixed school) and lost 3 or 4 similar size to my big one, including one that snapped off my roosta popper at my feet after trying to land it for 7 or so minutes. All in all an awesome time. Pixies to come later. Yakman Double Trouble, catch fillet release and bjorn2fish 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yakmando 49 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wow 5kg is a massive salmonWhat did it meausre?Must have been a long fight Only 68cm! Was VERY fat though. Was a sick fight. What is the usual length for a fish of this size, as I think it is usually a lot longer than this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
