Seeing it is only 2 pages I will try to put it in as an attachment

Fair enough. Well, here's to hoping you catch a yellowfin bream in West Lakes (it doesn't have to be a 60cm one), post its picture here and prove the doubters wrong. I can't say for sure that you've caught one or you haven't. Neither can anyone else without seeing the fish to assist you with the fish identification. Either way, you caught a decent sized fish and lost it just as you were about to land it which is unfortunate.

Black Bream are the larger of the 2 species

Nobody caught a yellowfin Bream in Westlakes... Although a 60cm schoolie you didn't quite land could fool you for a Bream.Also, if you're catching a lot of standard 20cm westlakes bream, and you hook a 40cm beast, you could be forgiven for getting excited and calling it a 60cm monster, they sure do look impressive @ 40-50cm... A calm head and a straight tape measure would have brought you down to earth.... Although, a big +40cm bream is still quite a fish.Also, Black bream can be all sorts of colours from sand loving bright silver flanks and yellow fins, to a filthy bronze.Apart from the.fishes profile, and the distribution of the two species, an easy way to tell a Black from a yellowfin for the uninitiated, is to inspect the size of the anal spine. The yellowfin has a long anal spike/spine, that sticks out beyond the fin.The black bream has a shorter anal spine that does not protrude past the anal fin.End of the day, we are all keen on a fish, every fisho is a liar at worst, and an exaggerater at best....... And we all have lovely kind hearted mothers

Looking at that particular dolphin and the way it behaved, it looks like the big loner I use to see when working at the ti bridge last year.Its very smart, it sits in the tide against the fencing on the southern side of the bridge and rubs itself against the mesh as if scratching an itch.

Fishing this morning when a big girl came and scared the fish away :cheer:

great footage! amazing creatures. wiuld love to go swimming with them one day. really makes me wonder what they think when the interact with us fishos.

I think she can be forgiven... just this once. Awesome video Jack.

Awesome footage Jack. Lots of negative talk about Dolphins, but they are a good inication of a healthy system. IMHO.I paused a toothy frame of your Flipper and could see no bit of hook stuck in there, so this is not our Tommie thief/Symetre smoker!

Wicked!
