**JoRdY** Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Congradulaitons guyz on a champion effort....... as for all the people talking about it being a lost bluefin i would disagree, Yes it is unusual but they are regulary caught in place around the ulladulla and nowra area and already this year there has been two other big bluefin weihged in, one being from narooma and the other being from bermagui. Good work boyz lets see if you can go out and do it again. Jordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
