Just hold them a little

Just hold them a little further out for the pic ;)

 

 

But they do get some rather large lizards over there. Seen one over 1m from the ocean overeast. They get up to 1.5m! 

Is a pity we dont get them that size here, especially in estuaries. I hear theres large ones offshore in deep water but buggered if i'll know where.

Am i the only one that thinks that pic is a bit dodgy.  i reckon there would be a knife or a stick or something as that fish looks to be way in front of the bloke.  just my thoughts.........  The fish and the bloke should both be more fcused if it was close to him

agreed, looks like its held forward a foot or so, something gripping the gills and hands placed perfectly behind, still nice fish none the less.

those flatties are the breeding females so they should have a max size limit and it does look a bit dodgy, ahah, his arms are just so far behing the fish its obvious he;s not holding it, but i must say that is a monster fish non the less,

Big Flattie but..

Fri, 2012-05-04 19:27

No doubt its a huge flattie and an awesome catch but I do tend to glaze over with the way so many people hold fish so far forward to distort the actual size and make fish appear bigger.

As soon as I see these type of pics I tend to recalculate what it really is - JMO
