Guest SuperThahn Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ash smile mate its a nice fish hahah. How long was it you could get a pretty good idea in weight from the length. 100cm is usally around 12-13kg as you probably already know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigash 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 SuperThanit was over a metre, 102cm when laid out flat.we weiged a couple others we kept later when we got back in.85-90cms ranging from 7.5-9 kg which makes me think this 1 was over 12 maybe 13kg. i will never know for sure, looking at the footage it was fat & it fought pretty well.I'll smile when i crack 35lb on a plastic :icon_eek: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SuperThahn Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ash good one hahah. Im pretty sure sardi have a messuring chart from length to weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

luke_westlakes 4 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I recon that fish would have gone easy 35lb, it made a 99cm snapper look small!Here's my biggest on plastics, around 6 to 7kg!! http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/eI9BIArv__plastic_snap_2.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SuperThahn Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 33lb is a strange number to get. Near on impossable to guess the EXACT weight with out weighing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocknev 2 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 33lb is a strange number to get. Near on impossable to guess the EXACT weight with out weighing itnot really.... at the snapper contest when fish are being weighed, you can sort of tell the weight, not uncommon to guess fish with oddball figures.... i even sort of make a contest of it with my brothers.... we always coming up with figures of 9.83, 14.15, 11.68 etc etc...and its VERY surprising just how often we are pretty close to the money...no doubt, with the first couple of fish we see weighed, we get completly wrong... but after 5 or 6 you sort of get ya eye in so to speak...the fish in question i would say would be an easy 33lb, but i reakon closer to 35lb...its a fat fish...

srick 0 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 33lb is a strange number to get. Near on impossable to guess the EXACT weight with out weighing it just a guess obviously tom. 15kilo den? same same i find it fun guessing too rocknev. 8) on my own fish im way off, but on others usually not so. we should open a guess the weight of a fish post. ill start it. should be cool for people that like that stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure do, worded my word wrong what I meant was to catch my first BIG red as iv talked about before, iv had light gear for a long time and now stocked up on more heavier tackle, plus now being able to get out onto the water now that we have a boat, not that you cant catch them land based here, nev has proved that, but like I said I had light gear.

rocknev 2 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 chez... if yourself and chad are looking for a biggy, i would be trying the mudbanks... you will do many trips without a fish, but if you hook one, it will be BIG.june is the best time for that place though..
