Rat 4 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yeah mate It gave the pillie a fair old whack thats for sure! Took off like a shower of sh!t once it realised it was hooked. I was getting pretty nervy when it was close to the boat but my old my man was pretty quick and we had it in the boat safely!

Underpants 1,543 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wading Franklin Harbour, Cowell. 21/02/15. First on HB and smashed my PB. Fun on the 1-3kg outfit, going fully airborne twice. Was pretty worried about the 8lb leader. Took 2 nets to land, head & tail simultaneously. southie THE BANGA, Zorgs, piratepom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jaffa 81 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hey ppl, nice fish. You might like to have a squizz at the sucker we landed down at Foul a while back. Check it out in the post I just bumped back up. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackmac 307 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Caught my bag limit of 80cm plus on deep diving halco roosters awhile back over at Pt Vic in my brothers brand new Cruise Craft (first trip).We stored them in the under floor fish holder only to have the smell of fibre glass resiegn go through the whole catch.Enough to make a grown man cry as I love my smoked snook.

archerfish 685 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Have seen some caught off the "Falie" about 12-13 years ago around Wedge Island that were roughly the length of pick handles and as fat as... "Sea Fishes of Southern Australia" lists the Australian record as 5.600kg and 109.2cm... Would have loved to have seen that sucker in the flesh... Cheers af Quote Link to post Share on other sites
