Freo Wharf MONSTER
Feelin kinda lonely, feelin kinda weird, feelin kinda different coz this giant NIPPED MY BEARD!!!!!
LOL
May? Freo Wharf? 4am? light rain? 12 foot ugly stick beach rod with a shakespear 065 Balance outfit with 25 pound mono? 45 minutes of fighting back n forth? skull draggin this giant in? NO PROBLEMS LOL. Only JUST found the pic on my computer. Before i went all out with my popper stopper and Saragosa 18000F I invested in a beach set up from Oceanside which cost me 150 bucks? best money i ever spent!
Note to self..... Dont try it again coz the drag was smashed to pieces after this LOL
not a bad big boy! not sure on the weight but i can dead lift 120kg's and i needed help to pick this baby up........ and im 115kg's myself and 6ft3 i think this shovel nose i named "george" was longer then me LOL just wish i had taken a pic of the ray i pulled up the other morning was about 3x times the size of this!
I know its not a glamourous or prized species but aint that somethin!!!

monster
yeah wont forget it luckily i had enough line that night LOL the ray i caught the other week pulled harder, i threw the shark back and named him george. used a mates cliff gaff on a rope to get him up, bait was a live yellowtail on a 80pound snapper rig. Gonna try for some more bad boys this weekend!
Cheers for re-sizing the pic very much appreciated
