My PB was yesterday. 95cm on a 5inch Gulp and rev head jig. 1-3kg Bass rod and 1000 Stradic. No net on board so we had to bogga grip her from the water (tense moments ) Another spot X on the Richmond

.....and what a fine job on the boga grips i did.
Was a good evening Alistair will have to do it again soon. Minus the wind though.

[whykickacatalong]

Yes full credit to the Decky Archer I honestly did not think we were going to boat her with no net. Can you email those pics off your camera to me when you get a chance. Pm you the addy.

Need a good jack pic now

Yeh 80 something cm's caught this year at my local creek. No pic here but I'd put up the report (with pic) a few months ago. 8lb braid, 10lb leader on atomic 4" paddletail.

Got my PB today . 76cms. Trolled at about 1000 miles an hour as I was in a hurry since I was late. Was very surprised that something jumped over the 100mm Squidgey Wriggler at that pace. On my kayaks maiden voyage as well!

Hi Flathead anglers-

I'm after a pic of a grander- that is a definite 1000mm lizard photographed on a ruler prior to release. This is for a news item in Fishing World magazine. They are very rare fish. There are over 20000 lizards in the flathead classic data now- not one over a metre. I've never caught one- best is 984mm.
Over the years I've followed up a few stories but was very disappointed when the 'metre flatties' were all probably 80-95cm, or a figment of the angler's vivid imagination. The definites I know of were Brad Smith's fish from the hole near Seaworld about 8 years ago, and a couple of old stuffed ones from Yamba (on the wall in the BP garage, or used to be).
So I want a definite documented 1000mm fish where the 0 and 100cm mark of the ruler/brag mat are clearly covered by the fish rather than anecdotal measurement without photography. It would be a great story, especially to promote the slot size limits to try and get NSW to do the same.

Thanks a lot,

Greenie

Here's mine. #83cm caught on a live pike about 25cm long in the seaway.

. . . and my largest landbased, 73cm, caught on a Berkeley mullet in Currumbin Creek.

(BTW that's not my stubby but I took it home anyway.)
