Trevmev Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hi this is my first post on fishraider thought I’d share my catch yesterday night. Late night session started with catching a few small bar tail flathead throwbacks, kept persisting and caught a keeper 40cm dusky flathead. Nothing for two hours and then wham buckled the rod into the sand a few headshakes and a run or two later landed a beautiful metre flathead. A few rushed photos, a video and fish released to fight another day. Swam off strong Photos don’t do the fish justice 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevmev Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Thanks for the kind words gents and Sorry guys didn’t have a brag mat to measure the fish. I have a measured 105cm pb and this looked close enough hahahaha. I’ll have a brag mat next time for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
