I'll fess up...that pic was photoshopped for a joke on another forum. The fish was actually caught in Yalata, S.A.. ;-)

The gear used was a 12' Nitro Assassin, Abu 7000 reel, 80lb braid, squid strip bait.
You filthy liar!!! here I was hoping there would be Jews in the Docks
Says the man who's caught them all over the world :rofl:

Was actually doing a search for Southern Sportfishing's number and a topic from this forum came up. Then I see that I've been wrongly credited with an exceptionally large fish.
Cobby's right though, not good enough to catch local fish so had to travel to the ends of the earth where fish are dumber.

Wow...it's amazing what fish can be caught on the banks at low tide. ;-)

i was wondering when you were going to post loll. between you and axleman ive seen some brutes (pics only)
Ha. Yeah, you would have seen that pic elsewhere.

Axeman's got the Yarra record so far I think, 1.46 metres on plastics in a yak.
Nah g money has the yarrabyrnong record at 1.47. Benny is next best at 1.42m. Axle isn't too far behind I think high 1.3's

One day... Haha
Was Benny's from a while ago? There were some stonking fish landed during that time
Same year as g's I think. 3 years ago. The year before I got into them... Haha.

Did you get into 'em Ducky? Lol. Carn mate, show us a "real" pic! :)
Jewie fishing changes "anglers" perspective on fishing, and that's a fact. (The transition from danglers to anglers). Doing 4 figures of hours plus on these fish will change a fishos perspective on angling forever, irrespective what species. Those in the know will agree...however many diehard Jewie anglers will never talk out loud. Poster "Piscateur" may be a good example of this... :)

Not with the same success rate as old mate pisscutter. Haha. I've only caught 5 and no meteries yet. I haven't put in thousands of hours but I have put in quite a few.

Still very much a dangler just one that commits a shite load of time to it

Make no mistake, I fall pretty much slap bang right in the middle of Dangler Category. As we know the internet can be a dangerous place and being temporary custodians of the fishery there are certain responsibilities (not saying I know a lot but anything we put on the net has a far reaching audience), and also out of respect for the people that would have helped me along the way there needs to be a certain amount of smoke and mirrors in terms of locations etc (the Sahara Pic is real!!!!).

Well said Piscateur. The Sahara pic is a good'un for sure. Did you get a weight on it? High teens?
