Kelvin 2,198 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I caught some big silver drummer off the rocks at Lord Howe Island when I was there a few years ago. The biggest went about 53cm, from memory. I landed about 1 out of every 4 hooked.This one took me all the way down to the spool knot.Great Fun {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/WNiwcFSO__LHI73.jpg[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/YmvwO1zK__LHI74.jpg[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/P0CAmIv7__LHI75.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
