I've got a 60cm KG on a 10/o Hook.
We all know how slamm KG's mouths are!
Picked up plenty of charlie courts and other small funny looking things on lures up north while trawling for trout.
Also some real baby coral trout, like 15cm on the large deep divers....kinda dont know they are there until your lure starts skipping along the top!

where are the pics to prove it Ron. without photographic evidence i cant give you the wooden spoon
John, definitely a pearl perch.just has its prison stripes on.
Sounds like the common capture is them tiny flatties, smalest one i have caught while fishing for sand whiting would have only been around the 10 cm mark and the spines still hurt at that size

My smallest catch was a
My smallest catch was a super tiny squid while squidding at ammo dump jetty. It resembled a little blob of goo on my size 2.5 squid jig. We were having a mini competition between me and my housemate and he said that "blob of goo" doesn't count because you can't even tell it's a squid.
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to prove that.
