whats the biggest specimen of a given species you've seen

for example we had a sambo off two rocks once try and swallow a 4kg pinky, that sambo was at least 55/65kg (we have caught plenty of 35/40ish kg sambos and that thing was a freak!!!

Mackie in Denham

Tue, 2010-10-12 16:30

We were up there in May and fished in their Fishing Fiesta, Guy weighed in a Spanish Mackeral that went just over 40kgs on certified scales, this thing had a head that was the size of a horse head, biggest Mackie I've ever seen. I think from memory was only about 1.5kgs short of the record.

My partner and i were in Denmark for the snapper run few years back and she pulled up a herring that was around 45cm and was so fat it looked like it had a normal size herring in its gut. 5mins later she pulled in another at like 40cm. That Wilson Inlet has some medievil sh*t growing in it

Tiger and Hammerhead

Tue, 2010-10-12 17:21

Got a tiger and a hammerhead off Bedout island, both were around 19-20 foot,females and full of pups [all live] The tiger had 51 and the hammer 48, all just short of a metre in length and all safely released to swim away.

Have a pic of the hammer but cannot upload it [tried following the instructions but no luck]

Caught a sawfish in Geographe bay off Cape Naturaliste about 3 metres minus the saw [saw measures 120cm], not supposed to be south of Port Hedland and supposedly a fresh water fish.
