Aron with a HUGE!! Dhufish off the rocks.
Submitted by Chris fish on Sun, 2019-08-04 09:05
Haven’t been on here much but have to share this one...
My brother Aron ticked off possibly the best landbased capture of the century haha.
103cm Dhufish off the rocks on a Mackbait vibed along the bottom from the south coast rocks. Landed on 50lb gear as well. Absolute fish of a lifetime and the biggest I’ve ever heard of on lure from the rocks and one of 4 I’ve seen a picture or head rumors of at that size from land.
So so happy for him and it couldn’t have been caught by a more deserving guy.

Cheers guys
crazy stuff. He even said he was going to try get a dhu on a Mack bait before this trip. We figured working it like a big vibe had to work. We expected to get one eventually maybe a 50-70cm fish but typical Aron out done us all with a monster on his first attempt. They called it for 18kg which I reckon is a safe estimation.
Will be putting together a video of the capture and chucking it up on our YouTube at some point.

Superb effort
most would consider that a fish of a lifetime from a boat let alone from the stones.

Top work
Cracker fish, not many people can say they have caught thumper dhuies from shore. My mate caught a beast like that off the rocks down south many years ago. Something to be proud of and sums up why we go fishing.
