A day to remember

[madmackrel]

80240802398023880237G Day all had a great day east of Moreton island with Ideas and Tangles. The plan, stay shallow and target cobia. After a 20 minute tussle Ideas gets it all together and we have a 22kg cobe in the kill bag, hi fives and yahoos complete we set up for another drift when i come up tight on a freight train, with 80 lb braid dissapearing off my catalina the calls made to chase this beast down, 40 mins on my body is starting to shut down ,back cramping ,arms two inches longer ,covered in sweat we see this fish the size of a vw. Sorry guys for getting carried away i was just reliving todays events. A GT is brought aboard (scales only went to 50kg) pics taken and fish released to fight another day. My first GT and one that is going to remembered for a while. An awesome day with awesome mates.
Tightlines all Cheers MM

.....removed text..... Drinking and posting.... Bad combination.

Very impressive fish.... That would have been great even just to be in the boat as they were fought and landed.

[Goodoo haven]

40 mins on my body is starting to shut down ,back cramping ,arms two inches longer ,covered in sweat we see this fish the size of a vw.


In other words us mere mortals would have no chance.......brute of a fish mate, well done.

And what's wrong with you....why are you sitting down?

[shy guys]

Nice work perry good catch there

[cobiaman]

Good onya fellas, i just love having to work weekends...

[Millsydude]

I will have to start calling you the man from snowy river MM, because you are chasing horses not fish! Two absolute beasts there mate the Gt would have been a cracking work out. What did the damage mate?

That GT is a horse Perry, no wonder you were puffing and panting on the 2 way after landing it ;D


If we were running the comp yesterday i dare say you and Ideas would have walked away with some prizes ;)


cheers tim :)

[Scalem]

He still had time to talk to us on the radio Tim, but with composure despite the huffing and puffing. When a bloke like you says he is stuffed after a long tussle with a freight train I was looking foreward to seeing the photos. Thanks Perry!

[Jigsrule]

What a cracker day! Welldone Perry.
Keen also to know what did the damage

[Bull]

Well done Perry and Ideas both of your fish are crackers and will certainly take a while to top in the PB stakes. I cant wait to see the video when you put it together.
I just hope next weekend shapes up with some fantastic weather.

Cheers Brett

[netmaker]

[robtarr]

Cheers Rob

[TimD]

Perry told me the cobe was taken on a pilly and the GT took a livie :thumbsup:


cheers tim :)

[netmaker]

keep that piccy mate. wait 30 years and change your handle to geriatricGT;);D

[finga]

By the sounds of things you need some more exercise.
You'd better get out and get some more 'exercise'. This week-end seems like a corker to get some 'exercise'.
Remember....the more exercise you get the fitter you'll become.

I wonder if you could claim that on medical benefits??

Cheers Alfred.
PS: well done :D

[MyWay]

well done
that is excellent
u will not forget that one easy

[Ideas]

thanks perry great day stoked i was there

[Horse]

Mate you got the BIG one you were looking for after a few quiet trips. I bet Craig thought he had all the bragging rights after scoring the Cobe.
By the way Perry, you know if you hold your fish out at arms length they look bigger in the photo;D
I fished the same spot today without scoring but one fish ripped off nearly 300m of 65lb braid and I was chasing it in the boat when the leader cut through
Looking foreward to the video
Very nice fish fellas

[FisHard]

Great fish and well done!
I'm thinking the GT was around the 30kg mark? No doubt still a cracker and a fine achievement :)

[Lucky_Phill]

Nice work ( out ) Perry.

No pics of Tangles and big fish..... ???

Looks like practice for 1770...


cheers LP

[fishfeeder]

[tropicrows]

Perry, excellent going. That's gonna very hard to top, well done.

[lucee81]

Perry king effort. thats what its all about...

[thelump]

Great fish mate well done. That shallow ground holds a lot of quality fish at times.

[Dicktracey]

Perry did your deckie piss your catch off and pierce it with the gaff then let it go for another run ?
Mine said your using 20lb leader it will be ok ;)
Nice fish mate
Dick

[MEG-A-BITE]

Thats a stonker GT Perry, well done. Also a great looking Cobia.

[Mossy247]

Nice fish mate Dick
Let us review you other option? hahahahaha I was telling the wife I gave the cobia a good stab with the gaff as I wasn't up for the swim home. I got the thing in the end first time it nearly took me back into the water.

[AmrK87]

so it was 50kg+...?

[madmackrel]

Yeah mate we tried to weigh it but the scales maxed out at 50 kg so any body's guess.

[WalrusLike]

Weigh it by lifting the front until the scales hit fifty. Then lift the back then the middle.

I bet it weighs 150 kgs. :)

[honda900]

MM,

nice work there, bet you were sore for a few days after that.

Regards
HOnda.

[RAT-KING]

Well done guys!! 2 awesome fish, what a great session!!!!
