Awsome catch mate thats unbelievable that they can be caught so big. does anyone know what they actually can grow to in weight or length.
cheers
A friend of mine has a grandfather with pictures of a 140 lb jew he caught in the '80's. My friend said he remembers his grandfather pouring water over the reel to keep it cool. His gear was 25 years old back then.

I've caught leather jackets with 14 lb green fireline & running sinker down to a small black swivell & 500 mm of 60lb leader & 2/0 circke hook. Shortened the leader as it got chewed up. The circle hook hooked them in the corner of the mouth & kept the leader away from their teeth. Didn't loose any gear. I started out drifting for flathead & upped the size of the leader when my mates line got bitten off. I would have used a smaller hook but the circle 2/0 worked a treat & caught some flathead as well.
