sbf1 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Came out for a quick fish this evening as my wife had a hair dressers appointment. Took my 3yo and 7yo boys in hope of a Jew around the tide change. My 7yo hooked up to this beauty. Have not measured but looks 2m plus. Very supprised and happy now waiting on the Jews.

tasksta Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thats a big hairy and surprise location too, they have to be the most random species. I admire you getting out so frequently with your children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If that is 2m you must be a pretty tall dude as it seems you are taller than it and you are looking down on it. Depending on your height I would guess around 1.6 - 1.7 but in saying that it is still a big hairy. During the hairtail challenge I don't think any of us managed one that size. Well done mate! It is impressive regardless. Luc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbf1 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't have anything that long to measure it but I am 1.84 and longer than me. It's got a very long thin tail that is folded on floor which is not evident in photo. I will measure when home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I didn't see it. And yeah yeah I had only ever fished for them in the social last year and I thought I did alright even though I didn't land one... I blame Diesels bad luck hehehe. In saying that though we did get one trophy, not everyone got the pirate flag hehe. Hairtail officially 1.93 . 3 Jews from 68-74cm Sbf1, that is a cracker hairy. Well done mate.

Paikea Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I bet that went berserk when you got it in? They are great fun to catch but so far, although others say different I have not found them too good to eat. The boys are certainly getting an early education in fishing, good for you.

DaveTheBoy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I always have a special place for hairtail (though never caught one so big myself) - so mysterious and give a great account of themselves! Wonderful catch mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbf1 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yes they are an awesome specimen. I had little luck last winter catching them and got this one by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
