Salami Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey raiders my wife recently had a baby so i haven't been fishing for a long time . thats the sad news for me & i am struggling. anyway as a desperate fisho i went for a drive down to parsely bay ramp last saturday & spotted a kayak which appeared to have a rather larger scaly creature in it. i couldn't believe my eyes but this bloke (lets call him legend) had nailed an estimated 25-30kg jew on SP out of the kayak.i notice his landing net was as big as it's head maximum so i can't believe how he landed it. his gear looked 10kg max an he told me it took40 minutes to get it in. does anyone know this legend and what did it clock in at? SHOW YOUR FACE i still can't believe what i saw it was a lobsided kayak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salami Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 yes that is the guy i saw. thanks for digging out the photos a few mates have been calling me a lier and now i have proof. believe it or not, that fish looked even bigger in the flesh!!

cat-as-trophy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you see this guy again, make sure you point him in the direction of Fishraiders. That is one amazing fish and would love to read the full story. Kayaking is becoming a big thing and all large catches like that would be terrific to read, not only seeing the size of the fish, but also reading about the fight/struggle and capture.
