I have to ask? Bar the flatty and the banjos what were all those other fish you caught in WP at night? Strange looking creatures for sure
Cheers
Thanks mate. You never know what you might catch in WP - that's why I like it. The toothy guy is a barracouta (aka bait), the small shark is a cat shark, the little fella is a bearded cod, and the big flat thing with the pink nose is a Melbourne skate.

Get on to (uncle) Dave and get that big reddie

Haha thanks Gra. It is about time I caught a decent reddie, my 10cm PB is a little sad.

That just leaves that flat thing with the big head? Also I thought that cat was a 7giller when I first saw it.

Still remember the first one I caught. Line burning off to the right, Ray getting airborne way off to the left. I was so confused.
