 you can see the measuring sticker on the side of the boat, they look heavier than they were but the fat one was just under 10kg, he had the 24 sardine/mulies in his guts.

Why the measuring sticker on the outside of the boat ?

Strange place to have the sticker, or is it that you measure them before bringing the fish inboard.

Wow

Thu, 2015-10-08 17:10

should've got them weighed and claimed the record.

 All time record is 9.4kg.

Even the pro netters say it's extremely rare to see one over 8kg
