I'm not the one for having lucky charms nor do I believe in superstitions but today I received my new Ausfish Pack and my outlook into these beliefs have changed dramaticly.

Trying on the shirt at home wasn't good enough, so I rang up a mate to go for a quick fish, to put the shirt through some real world trials.

This is the result of those trials:

I have only ever caught one legal barra and that was at 77cm. This baby came in at 106cm, I will have to wait till tomorrow before I can get an offical weight (gutted and gilled), but I know she was bloody heavy.

Thanks Ausfish, all I need to do now is convince the Wife that washing it may bring me bad luck and that we'd get used to the smell after a while.

Cheers

Zane

Congrats on a great catch. Glad I could play a small part in it by providing the luck.

Let us know how you go on the non washing side of things ;D

Stoked....still can't get the grin off my face. Wife complained that I held our first born with less care :P.

Official weigh-in at 7to7 was 11.3kg gutted and gilled. Currently shared amongst 3 families.

Thanks
