bass from the weekend

hey all

 

thought i might just post this up, this is a 35kg+ bass grouper i got on sunday, the fight was awsome i almost thought i was going to loose him for a few minutes.  went to west end first off and caught a few salmon then went out deep and got into a few fish out wide, great weather

 

p.s  thanks for the tip with the sounder ryan, i can see the bottom heaps better now

What a gut! Looks like my Goldfish LOL. They just keep taking it in and swimming around bloated.

That's a fantastic Fish Luke. I'm not sure how we would cope with the volume of flesh without giving a lot away.

Next time I catch a Herring I must try the angle shot LOL.

Awesome fish mate. Just gearing up to chase some of these deep water species down south and I'd be happy to see something half that size hit the surface!

Onya Luke, that's a monster for sure.

 

Its a young man's game, pulling in giants like that. My old tired body would have given up after the first 50m.Laughing
