Re: Fraser Island Red Mayhem
Top work! I nailed a seven kilo red off 1770 a couple of weeks ago and it nearly pulled my arms off! Can't imagine what a 13 kg unit would do!

Well done on the 7kg mate,plenty more to come i'm sure.
Yes they go pretty hard, generally have a couple runs trying to get you back to the bottom or structure.
Re: Fraser Island Red Mayhem
Yeah that's exactly what this one did. Wrapped me round the reef after the hookup. I gave him heaps of slack and got him out but there was still a decent sized chunk of coral branch wrapped around the line. Lucky to get him in.

Hi Justin, can you tell me how deep you were when you dropped the anchor and how much rope you actually have to let out?

Hi nick. We were in about 60 mtrs of water for a rest so would of been about 85 mtrs out. ( not sure to be exact)
I have 8mtrs of big chain with a reef pick that's got five 10mm prongs and filled with lead.
