pellipeeli11 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Gidday all this is a verson of one of my 1st posts to strikehook. with the help of Yobbo i have moved it here to go with my original post in this thread,It may go some way to explaining my fishing ethics today I have receintly been judged in different ways by my friends ,enemies,fellow fishers,and total strangers.I will presume before proceding here the reactions/replies i receive from this post will be along similar lines.[i make no apologies] I have fished inland rivers for goldern perch (callop) and murray cod all my life,(Lets not discuss goldern perch at this stage).I have seen many murray cod caught in many ways,most ways I now totally disagree with since reading/learning/watching and learning to be a caring fisherman,however as recently as last december 07 I am guilty of taking a truly magnificent murray cod 30kg/66Lb(see above) while luring holes in the very fast drying darling river.We had been lure fishing on and off about three months as when the darling river stops flowing it starts to clear enough for lures,This has only happened to my knowledge five or six times in about thirtyfive years where i fish ,having caught smaller cod on bait and some on lures in northern rivers (some were released) i often wondererd when asked "if i caught a large cod would i keep it?" I really did not know until this day.when i was fishing this particular weekend and the weeks leading up to same we were finding dead and dieing cod of all sizes in different waterholes over a seven or eight kilometer strech of river (two or three every other day. sadly)This is what influenced my decision.There is more to the story and photos but thats for another time . ragards peelipeeli11Mabee now its time.Weaver Darling river cod sth of Menindee.NSW. weight 30klgs ,66lb,1250mm,30lb finns braid to 50lb mono leader,loomis c644,shimano chronarch took 25mins L/B to land,(another 1/2 hour to get it to my car. Hence the bloodied tail)Unfortunatly my digital camera was out of action on the day so couldnt take this photo till about three hours after capture afishyfish as Yobbo says just left click on the photos and they should open cheers peelipeeli 13Here's a couple more to the story cheers all peelipeeli 13 [thumb][/thumb] [thumb][/thumb] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/AOAoR2jL__the_bunyip.jpg[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/AvRwiN4B__the_dieing_Darling.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weaver 271 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Not judging mate just interested to know,1250mm 66 lb and i count 26 rings,got blurry after a while so could be wrong Growth rate of about a kilo( give and take) a year seems right for a river fish.I seen the darling mud a wentworth last month, boy does it get dirty, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afishyfish 4 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Yeah thanx Yobbo, its normal size plus the angle wa hard to count fromI make it about 30yrs old ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest big lizard Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 mate i'll judge you, by looking at those pic's that fish wasn't going to last long at all, i think you've done a very humane thing nice capture..The river is looking sad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pellipeeli11 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 giday biglizard mate the river was very sad at the time (dec last year) only had water in holes on the bigger bends thankfully its had some water down it since those photos were taken .when i caught that fish we had been watching large cod swimming in the shallows of 5 or6 holes and we could get to about 8ft of them and bounce lures off them but they wouldn't take them or even swim away ,Bloody Sad to see [thumb][/thumb] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/hmu4Uh82__bootingee_no_fish_hole.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
