I finally cracked it!!! 51cm Blacky!
Submitted by tailor marc on Sun, 2011-11-06 16:10
In the last 6 months i have been getting 48 cm blackies and just couldnt crack the 50cm mark. Well today after berley up infront i had a pair of bream in less than a meter of water. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. The bream swam up to it and the fight was on. Just about lost it a few times but got her in. Took a few snaps and measured it and it went 51cm from tip to tail! This is my PB bream! Finally!!!!!!!!!
Released her and she swam off very stong. Thanks to Lisa for taking the great shots!!!!!!!!
Happy as!!

Top fish Marc, getting one bigger will be a mission and a half considering how long its taken to crack the 50cm

Black bream? I reckon its a buff bream, that fugn things on roids, geez wonder how old she is. Should be on the brag board dude!
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Great result!
Great result!
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.
