PPSGT Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Christmas Raiders, Last weekend I was fishing off my mates boat at the Spit, trying to catch some of the big bream lurking around. Now I have been catching some big yakkas lately, but we hooked Yakzilla! It went over 45cm very thick and would have probably held its own against anything that tried to eat it. Before anyone says - it was definitely not a cowanyoung , and was bigger than some kings I have caught this year Wikipedia say they grow to 50cm, and this one would have been close. A 30cm Yakka is huge but this one and its mates were in another league. What is the biggest someone has caught in the harbour? I didnt take a photo, might have won COTM? What is the FR record for Yakkas? Might have a shot at it... Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostproperty Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 U think it might have been a FR record however with our a photo I think all you will have is bragging rights, but have caught some solid yakkas in the harbour before tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostproperty Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Btw record is 55cm for bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I used to target Yakkas for a feed when I was young. Caught a few good ones but no surprises as to a monster like that. Needless to say I target Marlin now. They fight a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
