this was one of many big trevs for the trip .with this fish coming boatside with two of his much bigger brothers swimming along side him .i kid you knot they were over a foot wide in the shoulders and at least a foot longer dwarfing this fish .now i know what gear ill be taking next year .as this year his big brothers claimed a heeeaaap of lures ,48kg owner swivels ,heavey owner split rings plus owner hooks and heaps of other heavey hardware
always in it just the depth that varies
jay they ate anything you dabbed in the water .at some stages they would school up all around ya boat making it almost impossible to drop a bait in the water
wait to ya see some of the vids with frizza tormenting them bye dipping a lur or anything for that matter over the side of his boat .bloody amazing stuff
always in it just the depth that varies
water skiing behind that f@#cker...that is one hell of a fish and i can see the veins in ya arm about to pop just holdin him so i can imagine he woulda tried pullin ya arms out of ya sockets....well done...awesome to see a great fish!!!!!!
SO MANY FISH.....SO FEW SICKIES!
i had him boat side and tried to get the ggaff man [spurrie ]to take the rod of me so i could grab his and have a crack at his two big bros swimmn along side him.they needed a sadle and im hell bent on landing one of these beast next year.as far as pulling the boat .the run on "hurtsville" shoal ,just pisses ,so getting to the boat is one thing but lifting them into a clean gaff shot was more than half the battle .this fish got a pretty good gaff ,with a bit of a nick in the side of his jaw ,he released well ,but i tell ya its not easy trieing to jaw gaff them as to give them every chance of not being shark food

kasey there were a lot lot bigger ones down there .i can see why people spend big money on reels with big drag settings, as they tore us to pieces with our drags screwd all the way these beast didnt even slow down taking line like the reel was in free spool.bloody power machines .
they were onslow caught
wally we would fish for bottom spiecies .then every arvo the call over the radio was

Definately money worth spending if you're into it though. Especially on big poppers, so you can watch fish shove each other out of the way to smash it on the surface. Electric. And this coming from someone who hasn't even landed one yet, only constantly teased and frustrated.
how much 'big money' would it cost to join ya mitch ;) ;)
might have to try and organise a trip up your way.
bigger ey, the fish you boys are holding up look around the 20-30kg range, at a guess. I suppose with the bigger ones, its more a matter of them letting you land them, then you TRYING to land em, heh heh.
after going on this trip i don,t think you could put a price on it.
as for taking other people i think you would have to be born or married into the brotherhood.
leave nothing but footprints,take nothing but memories and maybe a few fillets and a muddie or two
will get some pic's up soon and the vid's i will try to get together.
not sure if i should put a few different vids on or just break it all up and make one out of it.
we have quite a bit of footage and it may be too much for one, is there a size restriction on how long they can be or should we just make up one and send it to you Adam to sort out.

If you could send it over as one big movie that would be great frizza. Then I can break it up into a few vids or sort something once I've seen it. Looking foward to it from the teaser pics!
Just send to:

after going on this trip i don,t think you could put a price on it.
as for taking other people i think you would have to be born or married into the brotherhood.
