Following the report of the big Tailor, just wanted to see what other monster tailor have been landed in the past?

They are such an awesome fish, my personal best from last year was one of 61cm TL so about 59cm FL which is a smidgen under 3kg according to the fisheries website.

Um. 20cm. I could say bigger but then I'd be telling fishing stories!

Top effort!

4.4kgs for me.

A school of big fish came in when fishing the stones at Bluefish many years ago.

We spun up 4 of them before they moved on.

They all were between 4.2 & 4.8 kgs.

Cheers,

Grant.

33cm. Will hopefully get into beach fishing this winter and that should change.

You get some big ones down here sometimes. My biggest so far was 65cm. I thought it was a big Salmon at first until I got a closer look at it. Then I saw the green back and fin / scale configurations and knew straight away it was a tailor and the biggest one I had seen till looking at pics online. They are good fun to catch, watch those teeth though!

I've caught 2 right on the 60cm mark (TL), at different times, and both weighed 4.5 pounds, which is about 2.2kg, and both were solid fish. I have weighed other fish, and other species, and don't agree with all of the ratings given by Fisheries.

Legal lengths are measured by the TL, yet some of the ratings are by FL. Why confuse the issue, Fisheries?

One of those tailor I caught on a 10 pound handline, that was a good fight.

Got this one last year off the stones on a cotton cordell. Not heaps big but i was happy with the result.

[matt84]

my biggest is 80cm last year, have got a stack around the 70cm mark. 50-60cm fish seem to be pretty common around my area atm. they go hard on 6lb bream gear

I remember a fishraider member once caught one in the bay trolling lure.

And if my memory serves me correct it was some where around 95cm. There was a picture also.
