LuckyFil Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Came across this old photo of my wife with a 10lb flathead she caught 32 years ago in Pittwater on handline (we only fished with hand lines those days). She reminds everyone that she was 7 months pregnant at the time. We caught plenty of fish in the 6 to 8lb range at this spot with the occasional bigger one like this. Fish were measured by weight not length then so I've no idea how long this one was but I'd say she's up around 90cm. Thought it might be of interest to other Raiders cheers Fil 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught at least one 10 pounder in those days but unlike her I don't have a photo to prove it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Nice memory for sure & catches like that have become rarer obviously due to more/over fishing but those models do still exist but now we tend to return those to keep the breeding population going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo1973 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Great lizard, A mate of mine was fishing for Kings near Lovatt Bay a few months ago towing a live slimey around and had a big girl rise up and take it at the back of the boat, put her back but would have gone close to the lizard above, they are still around now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
