rockfisherman Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 There have been some big ones caught lately. I'd be very happy with a mid 40s blackie. Well done Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fragmeister Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nice fish That's a record that has been broken a few times lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) . Nice fish That's a record that has been broken a few times lately. I am sure the senior black fishermen on the forum have caught much bigger. What really impressed me was the rod. There has been a lot written about snyder glas, G loomis and LOX etc (all quite expensive) but, the budget Wilson 2 piece blackfish rod from BCF for $95 coped with the fish without any stress. Some expert skills from Howsy in the netting department was the clincher off course. Cheers Edited October 1, 2015 by poohbear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Not a first place record, possibly 4th place.... Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I wished I measured some of the brutes dad caught in the early 90's one he caught and personally the biggest fish seen come out of the harbour weighed in at 5lb 6oz cleaned! My biggest went 4lb 8oz clean weight! Any fish though over 40cm and 2lb is a cracking fish such as throb r shown here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Howes Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Poohbear forgot to tell you, the big brutes we lost were being harassed by a pesky pelican. His second fish was as big, however the 8 lb Vanish is no match when a 20 kg pelican has hold of it when you are trying to net them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn pelicans...when you look them in the eye, it dosnt look like there's much going on up top, but they know how to steal your fish.

poohbear Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 yes and it was not a good look when a few kids were standing on the side making all sorts of exclamations about how cute the pelican looked and we were desperately trying to chase the darn thing away. One fisho (no names mentioned) tossed a small stone in its direction much to the disgust of the kids. Sigh, wait till they have a fish stolen from them when they are older, the darn penguin will not look so cute then. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
