frankp Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 has anyone seen or have any info on the blue fin that dan caught off browns.
huntman Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I saw some pictures, it was absolutely massive. Apparently it went 105kg?
mrmoshe Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I saw some pictures, it was absolutely massive. Apparently it went 105kg? I think you'll find it was a Bigeye Tuna and went 79kg...Unless it's another fish you are talking about. A report on the Bigeye with pics will be up soon I hear. Cheers, Pete.
TheDiko Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I heard about it, 104 or 5kg Bluefin Can't wait to see it IFS
mrmoshe Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Pete, There was a 106kg bluefin AND a 79.5kg big eye (potential new AUS record on 24kg) i have pics of both in my PM folder but i will leave it up to the anglers to reveal all + pics as it is not my place CFD Wow!! Things are hotting up out at Browns eh? Thanks Chris. Can't wait to see the reports. Pete Edited July 18, 2007 by MallacootaPete

arpie Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 This one should make the Sunday papers (& fishing mags) for sure!!! Bring it on!! Who's got a freezer big enough to store the fillets??? WHen's the BBQ?? Cheerio Roberta
arpie Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Do we know who the Raider is - or is it being kept a secret till they reveal it, themselves??? Cheers Roberta
shane87 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I'm sure tony will have it up here soon enough. They were great fish and a great story that goes with it.
netic Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Do we know who the Raider is - or is it being kept a secret till they reveal it, themselves??? Cheers Roberta They are Raiders but they will report it up soon, I can say one of the anglers is Dan Trotter from xxxxxxxxxx Hard to believe guys that 3 fish of a lifetime have all been captured this month 80kg YFT, 106 KG SBT, 80 KG BET all record tunas Ross Hunter did say at the workshop that our big tuna stocks may comback as a result of the longlining licenses being lowered.. He could be the nmext Nostradamus Edited July 18, 2007 by netic
arpie Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Most, if not all, of the tuna boats have left Forster, due to lack of fish being caught - that can only be a good thing for us, given that they were cleaning out all the baitfish schools along our coast. Even tho now a part of the Marine Park, any tuna boat that has a licence to fish this area can still drag nets to catch the schools of baitfish. This defies logic to me - I thought this was why they were declared a Marine Park, to protect the baitfish so the bigger fish have something to chase?? I for one, hope they don't return. Cheers Roberta
KingsRule Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 bloody great fish ay!! Just wondering , not being a game fisho ..YET, are SBT's or BET a rarity of sydney? Rob
djmac Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 correct bft are definetly rare off syd big eyes are very rare as well as normally only targetted at night time like swordies. and normally the pros usually smash them pretty hard. just shows this pro license buy back seems to be helping.
