You call that a bream? THIS is a BREAM!

Rifling through the father in laws old fishing books, i came across a photo of a bream record from the sixties which dropped my jaw to the floor.

As they say ' a picture is worth a thousand words'

So that makes it about 57cm Monster fish and definitely a fish of a lifetime, that being said I have seen bream that big around certain marinas in the harbour where you cant fish

Yeah man, I've seen a few Bream near the fish markets that would be pushing 50cm... No doubt there are still big boys out there.

Thats a Biggg Bream!

What was the book called, was it "Anglers Omnibus"?

[Razzell]

That measurement is around the girth... Wonder how long it was? Thing's a brute!

[SquidMarks]

not sure what the book is called, but "Anglers Omnibus" sunds correct. i wil have a look next time im at his place.

correct.. 57cm circumference around the fish at widest point vertically. so i believe it was longer than 60cm in length!

8 lbs! It seems some bream start to look like snapper when they get a bit of size. Saw a beauty taken from our lake, ugly looking critter, with head bump like a big red!

I have the same picture in one of my fishing books from when I was a kid.

I still remember as a 5 or 6 year old holding on to my handline so tight at Warners Bay jetty just in case one of these monsters came along!

You know it's a good bream when it looks like a bloody dinasaur!!
