landbased sambo

 Hi all

 Went up to Wilbinga for the weekend. Caught a couple of nice tailor before i was into a battle with a big sambo. Stripping 250m of line and a long hard battle, 20 minutes later, eventually it gave up. I won!!!! Measuring 1623mm and weighing in at..... well you can be the judge of that. I think between 30-40kg...maybe more!!! Tried to release it but didnt stand a chance. Tried swimming it for about 20 minutes but to no success. I'll never forget my first sambo.....

Mon, 2012-10-22 09:45

So skipped it. I have seen sambos before.

Then thought why is there so many comments and looked.

Blown away. That is a serious capture anywhere, and landbased its exeptional. Epic capture and not on very powerful gear. Be proud man, long time for a repeat episode.

Jeebus, fair bit of fish there.  Make sure you submit it individually to 'win' the POTM comp, create content - image - then details and submit.
