Really rapt to have taken the heaviest bag in the senior women's category at the Westernport Whiting competition. My bag went for 3.8kg over 2 days. That's a lot of ting fillets! :o_0: :water: :fish22: :banana: :super:

Easier to just sneak in behind it, pretend you dont see it, look harmless and slowly attach a hook in the corner of its mouth. :rofl:
