Del 245 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Caught this on my Garfish rig while hitting a local spot down near coffins on a trip a while back. Daiwa xcellor 2000, 8lb Ebay Braid. 7' shimano Raider 2-4kg caught a couple that day.. but this was certainly the biggest. swallowed the hook so it came home for dinner. Magoo, Brankim, Tinker and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piratepom 3,197 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Nice Flathead Del. Would've been a bit different than the Garfish fight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 yeah especially on a pencil float with 8lb mono off the rocks.. and quite a ledge to lift it up.. i climbed down and tried to swing it up onto a semi submerged rock.. then snapped the line. ended up grabbed her by my bare hands and throwing her up on the rocks. luckily didint get spiked. she put up a pretty decent fight thats for sure! gotta be one of my favourite table fish... tasted fantastic Rod, hoopsy, plankton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
