jenno64 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Caught a few chunky poddies yesterday and hit the water in my kayak this morning at 6am for the big run-in. Scored a nice squid on a livey and a 48cm flatty on a SP in the first hour. Just after drifting under the bridge one rod doubles over and I strike to feel some weight and head shakes. Knew it was a good fish so I peddled and towed it along as I got the other rod in. After a 5 minute tussle up she comes and after some violent surface thrashing I netted the big girl. I have a 50cm sticker on the side of the yak and she was about one and a half of it so I think she was between 72cm and 75cm and very fat. Couldn't get a good pic of her to show her size and I made a promise to myself not to keep any flatties over 70cm so off she went back to the bottom. Twas a good feeling and you would think the fish gods would shine on me after that but that was all folks.

Hodgey Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 One of the very few advantages of a tinny over your yak is the room to take a piccy. That is a bloody nice fish mate! I can just imagine what she would have done to your usual SX40s A great read as always mate. Hope they keep finding your hooks Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightmanager Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Nice frog mate. Great release. The fishing gods will smile on you but they like to see 60-70's released too As it is a legal capture , comments on whether it should / should not have been released are inappropriate in this forum .
