Calais_loco Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I headed down to my local today for another crack at the healthy Bass, after getting them all week as well as flathead I thought why not repeat the fun. So this time I opted to go surface as the cicadas were going nuts. I threw a soft shell cicada into my normal honey hole where I start my sessions and three casts in CLAP!!! I got absolutely hammered by a Bass on the surface. After a bit of a struggle to keep it out of the snags I landed the monster with my jaw dropped. I could not believe the size of this thing, I got it on the matt as fast as I could and it went just over 50cm. I'm so stoked with this fish and won't forget it anytime soon, Yarramundi is really giving the goods at the moment. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Hornet Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That’s a thumper of a bass mate. Congrats on making the 50 club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That is a big bass. I can imagine the fight, as the smaller ones I have caught can go hard, so this one would be on steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That’s a stonker @Calais_loco! Well done! I’ve got to get into the bass this summer. I’ve got them close enough to home that I have no excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I havent been back to the 50 club for many years - my best was 52 at Glenbawn many moons ago. Put the fish up for our record section @Calais_loco I am in 3rd spot with 52cm and you can be in 4th!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) A brilliant result @Calais_loco. That 50 you caught is an absolute stonker - well done. Edited December 30, 2022 by Pickles Edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebenbomb Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 50 is a monster - I cannot imagine how exhilarating that would have been for you. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squ!rt Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 That is a dead set monster mate, will have to come out and have a flick out at Yarra haven’t been there for a while due to all those floods but good to see it’s producing sone decent bass again. 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
