Mulla

I was in the Freshwater Bay area tonight to try for some flatties and tailor if they showed.

 

30 mins later a couple of guys turned up and pulled in a couple of squid on tiny jigs.
Well they rigged the squid on and cast it out.  After they pulled in a flattie on some light gear, some other guy there screams out and runs over to the rod where the drag is being shredded and the rod about to fall in the water.  Luckily he grabbed it and passed it to its owner.

It kept ripping drag of, probably about 10 times in the 15mins fight.

Final stats:
Weight: >12kg(max capacity of device)
Length: 1.1m (pictured next to a 12ft big boss rod)

 

This just makes me feel disheartened at the fact that the largest fish I've caught is 42cm...booo.
Well at least its the largest fish I've seen being caught.
