BEEG Trout
This story of interest:
http://www.westernadvocate.com.au/story ... oban/?cs=7
The Australian record is 29 pound from Tassie. The most recent fish of this size I can recall came from Lake Pedder in the 1980s where 12 pounds was considered a 'typical' fish and 18 pounds a good one.
It just shows what is lurking out there.
Best Wishes

Re: BEEG Trout
What a massive fish, we have fished Khancoban many times over the years, best I can recall at a comp about 8 years ago was 65 cms.
Bit confused, did the fish go back,even tho it had "been on the line for a long time"??

To find a fish
You do the miles.
Catch the fish
and earn the smiles.
Lord,allow me to catch a fish, so large that even I,when speaking of it afterwards.........May have no need to lie !!!

The way I read it it was kept.
"There was no way I could have released him after he was on the hook for that long, but there was no chance of that happening given the size of him."

Re: BEEG Trout
Absolutely awesome! The biggest Vic trout I know of for decades. Of all lakes, who would have thought a beast of this proportion would come from there. Eildon or the crater lakes, but not Khancoban. Very special indeed.

Re: BEEG Trout
For a truly wild Brown Trout to get that size in "normal" conditions is really something else and then to be taken on a home tied fly on 6 lb line is something else again and speaks volumes for the patience and experience of the angler. Many thanks for posting this Will.
