Jay88 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hey guys! Many have probably seen my fail posts recently, but Tristan decided to take me out fishing (The guy is so down to earth and taught me so much). Used squid... 8 KG line, and after 30 mins or so.. BOOM...thing doesn't move, dragged a few times...but after 10-15 mins, I caught my first fish of the rod, BUT, was a Port Jackson Shark lol... 15-20 KG (estimated), over a metre long. She was a beaut (and yes, released) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest no one Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Good effort... a solid fish! I think you may be a bit off in your weight estimation but you'll get there! Was it Returned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay88 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yep she was returned. The more experienced guys who were there estimated 15kg to 17kg it was pretty big. Pic didnt do.it justice haha good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Well done mate. Keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyNurse Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Got your SMS mate, She's a good first fish. Well done on the release. As I've said elsewhere here, they are probably a better fish to view in their natural environment. Imagine keeping one of those in an aquarium!

Rock&Beach Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Great effort mate. I took some mates out about this time last year and we caught 9 of them was great fun for the guys as they had never caught them before. The ones we caught were not that big though. Good fun to catch all the same. Better than donuts..... They all went back as well. No point keeping them, as Greynurse said they look awesome under water.
