Love to catch one that size, I think you have to put them back over in QLD if they get that big.

Shame because they taste so good, but understandable as well.

Not a bad effort for a first flattie mate. I really miss fishing for the big duskys over east.

Release

Top Lizard. Even better on knowing the current local regs and letting it go. Lets just say there's quite a few 'Australians' that aren't as well versed.

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.
