New Bay P.B.

[webby]

What you catch when you leave the camera in the car :'(
Colin and I headed across to Rainbow Sat Lunch for a arvo/evening attack.
Drifted the Straddie Banks for the first of the runout and managed two lizards, then it was off to one of my tuskie spots for the bottom of the tide.
Things were very quite till around 5.30pm when my tld 20 loaded with a full sandies buckled in the holder, 15min later and this brute of a blackspot was gaffted and boated.
My new digi scales went 14.4kg a new P.B. to my 12kg off Bulwer.
This fella must have wanted one last snak before he hit the sack for the night.
Worst scenario my camera's still in the fourbie back at the ramp, so pics are night time shots back at the ramp, other shots are kept for B & B.
Dropped him off on the was home at my local servo cool room, after some sweet talking to get some day time shots this morning.
We fished the coffee rock in Rainbow till the high at midnight, and manage two yellows.
Headed home to a very choppy bay with a 15+ blowing.

[Franco]

Geez webby that's a bloody bulldog! I never fish the bay and can only imagine the brute force that thing must have on the end of a line!!

PS what line / leader was that on?
.... and pardon my ignorance but could you explain what "loaded with a full sandies" means??

Well done.

[Kid]

That's an awsome fish there webby. What size hooks were you using, were they ganged?

[allniter]

Well.......
you;ve done it again mr. webb
bloody show off ;D
nice fish mate :o :o
have to stock up on more supaglue now ?? ;D

[webby]

Hi Tld was loaded with 50lb braid with a 40kg leader, and a full sand crab was attached by a 7/0 circle super glued with lockite 425 to the crabs back.
Even with that line class they still pull and run as if its cotton wool.
regards

[Fishinmishin]

Well done Brian [smiley=thumbup.gif],
That fish needs a visit to Jenny Craig....too many after dinner crab snacks.......even got a double chin :o.
Cheers, Jay

[matthill80]

cheers matt

[lukesnapper]

unreal webby that is one huge tusky! congrats on the new PB!

[NeilD]

Brian, the fish you manage to pull from areas most fishos just race by on their way offshore is absolutely amazing. I am going to give that area a good going over around the christmas period. I reckon you would need every bit of your 50lb braid to turn that brute.
Congratulations on a great fish [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

Neil

[webby]

Thanks All, the photo really doesnt do it justice, on what a beautiful speices these fellars are, so heres a shot side on, which will give u a better idiea of size and length.
Jay i think the double chin is helped a bit by my hand rammed up its gills ;D

[aquarius]

Gee Brian i have heard stories from old timers about the monster parrot in the Rainbow caught using 80lb hand lines and now the guru of Moreton Bay shows us that they do still haunt the area.
Awsome catch Mate.
Look forward to the pics in next months B n B mag.
Cheers Brent :D

[JayT]

Hey Webby,
Thought I might add my compliments as well, Mate when you haul a fish like that over the side do you just kick back and have a laugh at the size of the thing? I know I would! ;D
Absolute ripper, cant wait to see it in the mag
Cheers Jason

[searaider]

UNBELIVABLE Fish , like the others , I'm looking forward to your article in B & B .

[-spiro-]

Jeeezzz Webby for a old fella you catch big fish ;D with a parrot like that i'd die one happy man!......... ::)AWESOME MAN

[webby]

Isaacs the reason mate they have big A-Holes is they munch up coral and grit, and im bloody sure if i was eating that stuff, i would want one as big to get rid of the debri ;D
Whatch the old bit Spiro, you chase tuskies in the wrong place ;D
Neil thats the prob with a lot they race over terriotry thinking things are bigger and better in the deep blue, and dont try their own backyard ;)

[Fishin_Dan]

Webby, webby, webby.... You harass people about catching bait, then pull in fish like that!!!

Damn mate! Is there anything you can't catch!!!

Top fish mate. Hopefully one day I will be able to give you a few rums for a few hints from the info you hold..... ;)

(Still waiting for that Mud trip ;) )

[reeldreamer]

Un bloody believeable! Awesome fish!

[Black_Rat]

:o :o :o what a BRUTE of a Tuskie, nice one Webby ! :)

[Mick]

That is going to take some serious filliting..... :) I struggle to rip a fillet off a 2kg tusky.

[bugman]

So I see you're getting ready for Tassie :P

[craigie]

Webby,

YOUR KIDDING :o :o That is one serious Gut Buster !!

I would imagine Scotty W. may get to see it in the next B&B, especially if you get the prized "Money Shot", opps, I mean "Cover Shot".

Keen to hear the full length version on its capture.

Very impresive ;)

Craigie.

[webby]

Mark nearly at that stage where you have to comb it over the top to fill in the gaps ;D
Brett the only thing i want from Tassie is some sweet crays ;)
Cragie, Nearly gave Scotties 15kg beast a run for its money.
So when we headen out in the Red Express, seeing as Brett's too busy being a big time game fisho ;D
regards

[bazzaman]

SENSATIONAL BRIAN!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o

TOP THAT ONE REGULAR BAY FISHOS! ;) ;) ;) ::) ::)

Shane

[craigie]

Webby,

I thought for a moment there you may have topped scotties best, it should impress him all the same ;)

Watching the weather for this weekend. I have Saturday free if you would like to be the Co-pilot ;D Keen to get a few more Macks, thinking either Shipping chanel beacons from Tangas to Bribie.....or driving to Moolooaba and hitting wide currimundi ???
If the weather is ordinary, we may have to sneak over to the Rainbow ;)

Yes, "Buggy Dyer" has billy fever, not sure how we lure him back from the dark side of the force ??

I'll be in touch, late in the week,

Cheers
Craigie.

[vertico]

that is an absolute snodger , when we going my boat or your ;)

[Jiggit]

freakin kickass

[JComino]

Top parrot Webby. You will have to enter a few more comps catching fish like that Jurasic beast!

Jason.

[Escapee]

Webby

Congrats on a great fish. Can you tell me was the sand crab alive or dead when you used it as bait? If it was alive do you find that the locktite holds the hook onto the shell without any problems?

Cheers

Escapee

[webby]

Hi Escapee, No there dead, too much stuffing around keeping sandies alive in a live tank. Plus you would have to catch them on the way out, as they dont last too long once out of the water, quicker to pull into a seafood outlet and buy a few.
Once this locktite goes off you would have to smash the shell to get it off.
Hi Jason good to see you join up, F&%$ the comps, what chance do you have in the bay when evenone heads offshore.
regards

[Sproulesy]

Great fish there webby, hope to catch on like that anywhere on day.

[StevenM]

Bloody nice fish webby, would have been a top 15 mins of fun

[youngfisho]

WEBBY WROTE
Hi Jason #good to see you join up, F&%$ the comps, what chance do you have in the bay when evenone heads offshore.
regards


thats what scott waugh was saying in the straddie classic. #didn't have any luck offshore so decided to fish inshore. he sat and anchored at myora for 12 hours and pulled in a 7kg and then the next day a 12.95kg tuskfish. # ended up with 2000 dollars classic catch prize money.


andrew


ps webby thats a stonka of a fish. Scott waugh was sayin he thought his 12kg fish pulled more like a shark when it first hooked up.

[Reefmaster]

Good stuff Brian
That would have to be a one in a life time fish. Its a stonker :
bloody ugly bugger but ;) ;D

Regards Greg

[rakinray]

G/ day Brian so this is what happens when im off air for a few weeks you have to go and show off with an absoloute monster of a tuskie that will take some beating ! Well done on the pb mate and hope to be into em soon.

CHEERS RAY ;D

[bigmack]

man I have trouble getting through the armour plate scales of the little ones weve caught off Mooloolaba - how do you go about filletting that bugger and do they still chew ok at that size?

one ugly mother thats for sure - ( the fish)

A whole sand crab for bait - lovit!

cheers
BM

[youngfisho]

might I suggest a high pressure gurney or sandblaster for those scales ;D


mate of mine tappies said he has trouble spearing tuskies. the 11kg model he speared was a bugger of a fish (tasted good to)

(the armadillo of the ocean)????? perhaps
