Hi Boofhead, I have now altered my post to include my height which is 163cms.

Hi, Was recommended this site by 2 friends rzep and mrs rzep. My first post and I wanted to show off my flathead that I caught this month. Caught at Tuross Heads on the 2nd January 2008. It weighed in at 5.3kgs. After catching this we realised that we had no camera on board so quickly dashed off to the boat shed where we knew some people and jumped off for a quick happy snap before it was quickly released. It was caught on the last piece of bait that we had which was the spine of a tailor - you wouldn't believe it hey? After the flatty took my line four times, my other half helped me to get it in closer and I took over again while he netted it - unfortunately in the process he lost his brand new $400 bolle sunnies. It all happened so quickly and my main aim was to keep the fish alive especially as it was a breeder, so unfortunately I did not measure my flatty and I kicked myself afterwards, but at least I got a photo. The breeder is now a new owner of a flashy pair of sunnies!. This is a great site and I look forward to adding more reports soon! Maybe I should also enter it in the Fish Of The Month Competition! Hopefully you guys can somehow workout how long the fish is up against myself. I am 163cm tall. It was MASSIVE! Cheers, JJBRANDY
