mii11x Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) So only having to work half day today, thought id take the boat with me and go for a quick sesh on the Georges when I finished. It must be my week this week, increased my PB for soft plastics flathead today by 2 cm. The new "flatty on plastics" benchmark for me is now 88cm. Released after a quick couple of photos and she swam away well. Edited October 14, 2015 by mii11x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii11x Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks guys, yes extremely fat and a massive head on this old girl. Was fishing a small drop off, shelf was about 2.5m, and dropped to about 6-7m. The pace at which it hit the lure was unbelievable, I've never had a large (over70cm) flatty hit a lure with such speed and take so much line. I thought I was going to see a soapie actually.

Camo1808 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Mate shes a ripper!!! Congrats on the new pb and just another target to beat. Solid effort on the release. Makes it all the more better.

Jewdreamer Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Great fish mate! Pipped my Oyster bay PB by 1CM Great to see the old girl swim away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii11x Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 any flatty over 60cm goes straight back to live another day......something that my old man instilled in me when I was a kid. When I invite mates for sessions they are all aware of my rules. I always get photo's on a brag mat with my foot or shoe for the non believers, and well that's all I need really. I live alone so I don't really need to take home fish, every now and then I might take a couple of 40-50cm models home for a feed or when I invite the oldies for tea, no point taking more than I need.

Yes we would need 6 fridge/freezers in the garage if we took all swordie's fish captures. No point is there. We rarely take fish either. Nice fish by the way!

Mike89 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice fish mate, would love to land one that size. They really take a lot of line when they get that big? My best was close to 70, I've no experience on how the big big guys fight. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
