Hey Guys,
New to the site but have found it very informative since moving to WA. Anyway had a bumper trip in Exmouth recently and some how boated this beast, successful release as well! Enjoying the site and will continue to post more mammoth fish as I catch them ( so you probably won't hear from me for a while).
Charge on,
Scotty

Fat fish for sure. Good skills to get that away from the reef. Congrats and welcome.

That's a solid bloody cod.
That's a solid bloody cod. Guessing you had some heavy tackle to subdue that beast
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.
