Show Us Your Biggest Mulloway---show and tell the story behind its capture

Caught it many years back about 5-6 mile west of Parry's beach one Easter. Got it at 10 in the morning and took around 25-30 minutes to land it on 15lb line . The rod was a Butterworth 8144 and a Mitchell 499

 Guesstimated it to weigh some where around the 60-65lb gilled and gutted. Have got heaps since but none has come close to it.

Shorts

Sat, 2010-09-04 13:05

Footy shorts, no such thing as Ruggers , Stubbies or boardies then. Only real men wore them!!! no limp wristed  glove wearers in those days.

Was a bad hair day, sleeping on the beach, fishing then a 4-5 mile ride back to the wagon on a three wheeler.

I remember my brother

Sun, 2010-09-05 17:30

I remember my brother getting one that went close to 50lb at the Freo harbour a long time ago. It was one of 3 all around the same size on the day. It was in the middle of a Saturday afternoon and people were lining up to go onto an open day on board an American Navy ship in the port for R&R. Very good fish on an odd kinda red letter day.

Cheers
Dale
