sambo Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) hey guys.just like to report a bream i caught around the harbour.went to a spot i usaully catch some decent snapper at (inside the harbour) and im also always using a 12ft rod to cast out the distance needed to reach the drop off. anyways weather on friday night was looking good so me and a couple of mates went out and sat around having a laugh and with only my rod casted in it wasnt looking to promising.not even 5 mins later i get some pulls on it and bring up a nice 31cm pinky. have another cast and its sitting there for about a hour without a touch so i bring it up and put a big banana prawn and throw it out. it was getting pretty quite at this stage (12:50am) so the call was made to pack and leave the rods in till the end.so as soon as i get off my chair i notice my rod pulling so i quickly grab it and set the hooks and call it for a soapie jew.as it comes to the surface we all said "yeah its a little jew" as soon as i lifted it out of the water i didnt believe my eyes it was a bream the thickness of this bream was the fattest i have seen.i have seen alot of 47cm models but nothing as fat as this.it measured 45.5cms and 2 kilos it was a nice fat healthy bream.so after a couple of snaps i returned the big muma back into the water and she swam off with not a care in the world.... cheers Edited May 30, 2011 by sambo1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonardgid Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) great looking fish, Mate if you do practice catch and release...... support the fish with both hands when taking a photo, also try not to let them thrash around on the ground they can break fins and scratch eyes that way as well, if you take them home thats another story, Edited May 30, 2011 by leonardgid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnboy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey Sambo it would not surprise me if you and that cracker of a bream are of the same age .Your not wrong about the thickness of that fish either that would be the fattest i have ever seen.

james7 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Congratulations sambo1! What a cracker bream!!! Be aware that by releasing such a great fish, from now on your catch rate will increase! It's all about karma and balance. Your good deed will not go unrewarded. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
