Swan River - Monster Squid

This has to be a record ! Went ~70cm... Biggest squid i've seen in the river...

Cheers Honsu for the heads up :) would have left my squid jigs at home otherwise.

Sorry David, my mistake!

 

Hardly bullying lol,

Just think you should respect how and where others fish

Stop telling people to get out the river cos there is no fish,

As I have previously stated, not everyone have parents who can afford boats that can take us out and a lot of us have to work hard to find spots on boats so the river is an easy, and sometimes very productive substitute!

david i think shecky was saying "bet you dont get squid like that at your special SOR beach grubisin" as more of a joke than having a go at you.

stop arguing you guys
