big flatty
Submitted by RayBen on Sat, 2012-11-24 17:04
boated this beauty today on the city side of canning bridge. thought i was snagged until a big thud of my rod tip and it showed itself. couldnt believe my eyes.
caught on a mid diving zipbait, 1000 saros with 3.5lb braid, 6lb leader and a 2-4 kilo rod.
went 58cm.
stoked to say the least.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Nice one!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Quality
50cm in the river is the 'horse' benchmark. Great fish at 58cm.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Cracker Flatty
Wouldn't be letting that one go to grow. Couple nice fillets for dinner.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.
