Dusky_Chaser Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys I fished with a few mate down on the sth Coast last week and had an awesome 3 days . We were mainly targeting Flathead as is our annual tradition at this time a year. We all chip in and buy a few prizes the top one being a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. We landed over 150 flathead for the 3 days and I was fortunate enough to take out 1st and 2nd prize with a couple of nice fish. The first one went 84cm Well anyone would be happy with that fish but the one caught the next night was unbelievable. She wasnt my longest fish but was the fattest and pulled the scales down to 6.8kg or 15 lb. (Fish always weighed supported in net and weight of net subtracted) Happy to say both fish were released. Still on a buzz form this one. A cracking few days Edited November 11, 2010 by Dusky_Chaser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickster Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 That's just silly. Did you net them, gaff them, or did they just climb on board on their own? Should have a sign up "DANGER - NO SWIMMING" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belly Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nice Fish, out of curiosity did you measure them. The second one looks that wide that it would cover the brag mat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 These fish are gigantic! My cousin caught a 6 kilo flathead at Forster but the one in ur 2nd pic seriously makes it look tiny. Nice fish and brilliant camera work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
