Saw Tooth
Submitted by outdoinit on Thu, 2013-07-04 20:53
Currently at Telegraph pool (Second Night)
Fished pretty well all day trying to catch a Barra, but with the water temp 19 to 21 deg c
it has been a hard slog..
I threw out a live bait at dusk and ended up with this Saw Tooth.. You don't catch one of these every day..
Released without harm..

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

That thing's awesome! Would have been a great surprise seeing it come up.
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.

Wouldnt call it a hard fight
but plenty of thrashing around in the water and on land..
Would hate to get a smack in the leg from those teeth as they are razor sharp ah..

Naturaliste
I got one about 9 foot plus bill off Cape Naturaliste while pro fishing about 10 yrs back, sadly it couldn't be released but called Fisheries Shark Research and they sent down one of their blokes to takes measurements, samples etc for their research. They said that they have been caught as far south as Spencer's Gulf in South Oz.

And here I though (Like many People)
that they were more northern species.. Live and learn every day.. Cheers
