Hi, A guy a my fishing club just caught the new Australian record for the Tasselsnout. They are rare but are around.

Hmm... does not look quite as exotic as the one in the post above, but maybe all the plant growth looking stuff died when the fish did.

How big is that one by the way? can't see the ruler clearly in the pic, but i'm guessing they don't get very big... although, it looks fat for its length.

I dont know how big it was exactly, but the ruler is a standard Alvey ruler. The fish weighed in at 600g which beat the previous record by 100g. The pic was taken about 2 hours after it came out of the water. From what I have been able to find out, they are a smaller growing species.
