LoL!! Yeah, a good mate of mine put the photo in the Sunday Times and i copped the same amount of schit about the look! It waas friggin heavy, @ 35 kgs, and took me 10 odd minutes to get it to the boat..
Hey Tim, used a Daiwa Saltiga Explorist 6500 reel on a Daiwa Saltiga SG Muramura 76 rod, and one big arsed Halco red/white popper. Was blowing a howling gale out wide, so we go only play in close, we saw some nice ground, and yep, had serious fun.. man i luv that place.
Thats what the fisho expert on me boat said, packed everything except scales :( To be honest, phucked if i know what it weighed exactly, only going on the fact i could hardly pick it up, and I aint no wall flower, and couldn't hold it long. I will see if i can load the othr pics, see if ya can make a judgement?

That must be heavy
By the expressions on your face, that must weigh a bit specially after the fight to get it to the boat.
Well done.

Have to agree but still a bloody nice fish and regardless of the exact weight it still would have pulled like a train. Good work
