Penguin Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Top fish, gotta be happy with that result, any pics of the other beast? pengyuin
tomahawk1999 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Congrat's on a great result. Ther'e top fish!!! We heard you guy's on the radio during the day, we gave it away at 2.30 having only scored a stripie and having a beakie swim up the trail, that wouldn't look at anything. We should have stuck it out; maybe next time. Cheer's Rod.
Flightmanager Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Thats what I'm talkin about !!! Looks like being a good season ! Well done on a 50Kg+ fish !! Ross
Methodman Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Were those fish weighed or are they estimated weights???
Steve07 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 A huge thanks to the reel magic boys for taking me along & busting my yellowfin cherry in a huge way i will never forget that fish thanks again boys. Great boat great blokes cheers---jason. Awesome fish Jason,well done on a top yellowfin & a great way to break your duck. I bet the pain was there for a couple of day's, an unforgettable day out for you! cheers mate Steve
reelmagic Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Were those fish weighed or are they estimated weights??? Pretty good estimates and they were very fat! and seen a few!
Methodman Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 No dramas mate im sure your on the mark. It is fat. Ive seen alot of over estimated fish in the last 2 weeks tho. I know it doesnt really matter, but sort of takes the shine off all the real 50+kg fish caught. Came across a few boys at the boat ramp telling evryone they had 90+kg fish in the trail and had landed a few 60kg fish. When i saw the fish on the table i nearly fell over. More like 35kg fish. Yeah there alot of big fin in sydney at the moment but not everyone is catching 50+kg fish. 50kg fish is a fish of a lifetime to most, looks like the fish of a lifetime will now be 100kg. The thing with Yellowfin is, they look alot bigger than they really are.
CR@ZY OS@M@ Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 well done guys on getting yourselves 2 top size yellow fin
double pluggers Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) It measured just over1400mm do the length weight conversion. Big thanks to the well wishers. Edited June 2, 2008 by swordfisherman
Dreamtime Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) It measured just over1400mm do the length weight conversion. Big thanks to the well wishers. Who gives a rats as to the actual weights, bloody big torpedos for my mind, and I've seen a few of them. Congrats is deserved for boating those specimens. You've got my well wishes anyway! And to the knockers Cheers Mariner BobanGiven what is happening at the moment, I thought I would post this table to help everyone estimated the weight of their fish. Edited June 2, 2008 by Mariner 31
Kirks Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) great work there mate steve Edited June 2, 2008 by Kirkby
Tony Soprano Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Fantastic fish mate... I love the photo too, it says it all. Regardless of the weight of the fish, at 140cm your fish has the biggest possible gonads of any yft... That's gotta count for something Cheers Tony

The thing with Yellowfin is, they look alot bigger than they really are. Its not an issue for us! The first time I have posted anything, as we were in no mans land , very wide very late at night 53 clicks offshore........... came home at 8.00pm Next time, I MIGHT just say we catch a few fish in the ocean. (at best) I really don't care! We fish often and are successful and love game fishing. AND..... we do catch gamefish! Just thought people might be interested, as I have spoken to some great guys of late!
Boban Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I don't know how I missed this thread earlier but I did. That is a good fin (the one pictured) in any man's world. Look at the girth on it. When you pick up a 40kg bag of cement regularly, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that the fish is a lot heavier even if it is awkward to lift. Of course you can get it wrong, I called Pete's for 45kg and it only went to 41kg. Mine was bigger and Stewy's was bigger again. There are some big fish out there. Very big. The one we lost on the gaff was bigger again. I don't get why there is a need to express your doubt out in the open. It just puts a sour taste in the poster's mouth and causes unnecessary angst. It should be a time for the guys to celebrate their capture not deal with criticism and doubt. I know for a fact that when I went fishing with Greg L, my bream was bigger than his (even though he had so many more fish to pick from). The photos however do not seem to show that. In the end it doesn't matter, its all about sharing the moment with guys who enjoy the same sport not who's got the biggest and better gear, boat, fish, wallet or whatever. Well done on the capture guys. Cheers, Mitch
simondenic Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 These people carry out scale calibration if anyone is interested. www.wedderburn.com.au
Scon Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Fish 10 mile SE Browns in 675 fathoms for two fin 55 & 70 kgs. The 55 kg fish took a live yakka, whilst the 70 kg fish took a pillie put after the initial hook-up of the first fish. Very late ie. 5.45pm, with the larger fish taking nearly 2 hours. well done, is there or do you have a photo of the 70kg fin?
