Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum (although I have known this forum for years!), one of the main reasons that made me join this website is that, I actually have trouble finding the Australian record for this Rock Blackfish (Black Drummer), it would be appreciated if anyone can give me any idea where I could check a list of Australian record catches. Below is the report I have written for this fight, I hope you guys enjoy the photos!

Rumour says once you released enough fish, you get to open up the Secret Cow Level to fight with the hidden boss, god knows I have accumulated enough points, this boss came very unexpectedly! Weapons I used to fight the boss Rod: Bluefish G-Spec #2.5 ISO Rod (This is a telescopie rod in case you are wondering... yes the rods generally used by Korean fisherman, and in case you are wondering, no, I am not a Korean ) Reel: Stradic Ci4 2500 with 20lb Powerpro yellow color braid line (yes, Yellow is important!) Drag power: 85% tighten Leader: Sunline Basic #3 (12lb line, and if I knew the boss is coming I would have prepared something more expensive to make him look better!) Float: 3B Float Rig: Standard Semi-Floating rig Weight: 1 x 2B + 1 X B size split shot positioned evenly on the leader, 2B on the top, B at the bottom to balance the rig while allowing the bait to look more natural. Swell condition: 0.8m (the actual swell feels like 1.1~1.2m)
Bait: Prawn
Location: Northern part of Sydney Fighting style: As my leader wasn't too thick, I bended my rod to an extend that does not break the line (80% strength), then 'lift' the fish slowly while preparing for it to charge, while it starts to charge, instead of losing my line, I utilize the remaining 20% room by bending down my rod, and if thats not enough for the boss' sudden burst, I knee down to allow extra room by changing the angle of the rod (I think this is called Last Stand...), and being a secret boss, we know they have more power than average mobs, and yes it did managed to even beat down my last stand... guess the boss didn't know I still have hidden secret art... once I lost all the ground and the line was too firm to allow the rod to bend up again... I manually pull my main line out to give extra room so I could lift my rod up to the perfect beat-you-down position again! (I know some hackers has a tool called LB Break creates similar effect, but being an average player I just have to deal with it... ) After we exchange a few blows here and there, my secret art proven to be quite an overpowered skill, eventually the hidden boss surrenders and surface up to water to beg for mercy... but NO I AM GONNA NET YOU UP! Here are some photo I have taken from the Secret Cow Level, the hidden boss lies on the ground all crying. Okay, I guess that moved me a bit, especially after I beaten up his 50cm drummer lieutenant just 20 mins earlier, I decided I would let the hidden boss go. After taken some trophy photos and videos, I hug it like a baby and put it back home safely, and once he's all recovered, I hope he takes my bait and pay me another visit later... yes I am talking about when you are 70cm!
