Huge leatherjacket

[Bryant fish]

Hey all so on water at brooklyn 5am go to Pittwater for a few small squid waiting to see what wind and swell is like to head outside when it was light enough headed out towards whale beach. A few snapper  but all undersize so head out for flathead drift in about 150 ft kept 6 between 40 -65 cm and solid fish all good . I pull up what i think is a big flattie and its a leatherjacket bigger than a garbage bin lid it spat the hook at the boat but i never have seen one near that size before all up a great day with a nice bag of fish and enough to share  with retired friends also dolphins seals and whales about (love em if they keep there distance
