Agree with Basti and 4liters comments - it's got the possibility to not be far from the realms of reality.

More like a Big Reddie little reddies are the best bait for them :thumbsup:

If it took line it's safe to assume it's no reddy. Haha

If it was a Cod there would be No reddies in the lake already.

it's that or an eel. and the eels i've caught (sub 70cm) don't run, just headshakes and weight with a little backwards swimming. dunno what else in metro freshwater eats reddies and takes line. This is all pure conjecture of course, we won't know for sure till someone hooks and lands the thing

meanwhile, here's that vid

Thanks Basti

That is the lake I was at. My hook up was pretty much in the same spot and the fish powered on around the island.

Nice work finding the video.

Nice video. Not a huge fan of how he handles the rod but great job getting that fish!
