Hope you got a BIG wall Scotty.....an absolute bohemoth Congratulations on such a magnificent fish.....a sad outcome for the big girl, but you did the right thing in the end. Much better off as a mount than in a Sulo bin eh.

Well done again mate. Simply outstanding.

Cheers

Hi Scotty congratulations mate well done.

When i first saw that huge fish a week or so ago i couldn't see how big it was as the photo was a little dark. But with the clear photo's you have up here mate bloody hell thats a big fish. It will be a conversation starter in your house for decades. Better buy a new lounge chair to seat all the people that will want to check out that beast of a fish.

Well done again mate. All the best on future trips.
Cheers Lyndon & Kel

G'day steve, We do enough stupid things now, so I'm a bit worried about the new boat because we will still do stupid things but faster. I can see myself getting catapulted out over the nose at 100kms/hr when we hit a mud bank. Hope you're around to patch us up. cheers scott.

As long as its you getting catapulted ...Cant remember doing Stupid things ? Err like coming back from the Boyne arm at 50km + a hour just relying on the GPS in the middle of the night,,, no moon..Black as......Or the time we... enuff said ...

awesome....hope your wall is reinforced!

Thanks everyone for your positive comments. Winter is almost over and the dams will fill up again with fisherpeople and the big girls will be disturbed and therefore a bit harder to come by, but a few more still will be caught. I look forward to winter barra fishing every year because the bigger fish are easier to come by. September will be special with large numbers of slightly smaller fish to be caught, I'll hopefully see some of you out there.

To LGM, I don't know about bass but barra don't mind bananas. Check out this new prototype lure I have been trying lately. I took this photo to send to a couple of superstitious friends who swear that bananas in a boat are bad luck.
cheers scott.

BLOODY GREAT MATE

Good for you, I am not sure what a bloody auto caster is but are you sure you can take credit if a machine caugh it?

And why wouldn't you keep it under the circumstances.
I am glad to see the support from the crew, that is a real trophy.

I am sure we would all like to see the end result when she is on the wall
with details of who dressed it and what it cost.
