breed to destroy!

Sun, 2007-12-16 21:08

Certainly a great fish that has been breed to destroy gear, to get that on lightish tackle is a triumph....well done Skinny!

ps.... in  your pic, the rods looks like the New Live Fibre Territory Barra 10kg rod, i've just bought 2 for myself ie barra fishing,driftbaiting and shallow water jigging......they're awesome!

Lobbying

Sun, 2007-12-16 22:46

C'mon Brad I thought we'd finished with all the Kevin07 type lobbying.

Certainly a cracking capture but for photo of the month purposes I'd rather see it dripping wet and full of life/colour.

Who's passing judgement

Sun, 2007-12-16 23:09

Grabbing the bull by the wrong horn there Skinny.

I wasn't passing judgement on you keeping the fish, I was referring to its photo of the month contention and how I would personally like to see a photo of such a great fish taken straight from the water and full of life/colour. Taking a photo of it after its been laying in an icebox for a period of time doesn't do it its full justice IMO.

Brad's Lobbying

Sun, 2007-12-16 23:49

I never said YOU were pumping it up as such, I was actually referring to Pilbara Brad and HIS lobbying. You might also notice that I used the smiley to indicate to Brad that I was razzing him.

It's certainly a great capture Skinny and something to be proud of.

Chill chill

Mon, 2007-12-17 09:42

Yep, think we are all getting a little excited over this one. Mind you its a bloody great fish.

It will be a photo of the month contender because its a sensational capture and a good photo. As for seeing it fresh out of the water and voting for it as the winner, thats why there are 5 other photo of the month contenders. 

Cheers,
Adam

Nothing

Tue, 2007-12-18 09:48

Probably nothing that I haven't heard before boys.

Love the Pies, and now the fact that we are in a position of being hated again I reckon that's fantastic! To quote Eddie the Messiah - "its gonna be a big year in footy".

Easy on the pomsThere's a few of us on here you know!! Besides it's just a myth we like warm beer..................Room temperature maybe! and when we have been pasturised homogenised circumsised (not me) vasectomised and naturalised had half our brains removed we become aussies and like cold beer too.
