another big breeder down the tubes.
Well said Brett! We complain about the lack of fish around today, yet most of us do f*%k all about it. Catch a trophy fish and take a photo and put it back. Limit your catch, don't catch your limits.

If it is a creek Jack is it a breeder?
The Gold Coast seems to produce bigger creek Jack then anywhere else. I know some of our leading lights have trouble releasing them into anything other than an esky.
Smithy,
it is a big fish to be still in the system,most have gone to sea at that size.
a jack that big would be pushing 20 yo.
Hookin,Brett
thats a huge jack to still be in the creek. woulda hit like a steam train.
Great fish Webby.
Brett, I know what you are saying, always nice to see a fish like that swin away after a photo.
Skales,
Where is the report ? I'm still keen to hear all the intimate details, It's an awesome fish for the Estuary, dead or alive !!
Regards

Well it was caught mid stream as a storm was coming on a hand line .Bait was fresh mullet, just on the turn of the tide .As for you GREENIES, I have every right to take it as I have been fishing for them for 4 years now in the same spot ,been bustered off many a time ,this is my First. By the way it tasted good too.
Now you've upset the apple cart mate,
Post your own pic's from now on
Now pockets and i will have to try harder, although it took you long enough to beat our stats
I can see a 3 #way fish off coming up real soon.
Might even invite #cragie and spike 2 to compete with us
I think every ones entitled to 1 trophy fish, especially after 4 years of trying . But i honestly would say he normally wouldnt keep one like this.
regards
Thanks Webby/Skales for keeping and eating it, that "thing" would've eaten heaps of fish and wiped out the whole Coomera fish nursery population!!
There should be a max size on all species that way that fish and other species would still be able to produce more fish for the future.Nice fish!!! shame it died ???.each to there own though.PAUL
Better to have caught it, kept it and eaten it then to have said I had an awesome day and got wiped out 5 times leaving fish to die in any number of ways with hooks or lures hanging out of them.
There are plenty more where that came from the Coomera.
Better again to have caught it, removed the hook, got a photo, and released it. But as Paul said, each to their own.
