kinggame Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Caught this +65kg model off Sydney on Saturday. Had them swimming around the boat for over 2 hours, Wouldnt touch anything we threw at them. Took a few tricks and special rigs to get them biting. Got busted off by 1 before and missed another hook up untill I hooked this. Took us over 4 hours to get her in the boat. Could not beleive the power of this fish. I did what it wanted whenever it wanted. Weighed her in at SGFC, Went 64.7kg after we bled it. A day i will never forget !!!!

Lineclass Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Great work mate, very jealous. We tried but couldn't succeed. Were you guys the ones I could hear on the vhf at Heatons? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinggame Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 We were in about 800 fathoms on a 41 Luhrs convertible. we tried calling over several boats who trolled past us, as we only had one small gaff onboard fit for a stripie. Think everyone was thinking we were telling em to get out of the way ! Tail rope it was ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plankton Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nice Finn. I saw you weigh the beast when I was eating at Doyles. Was waiting for my seared Yellow Finn, so seeing the beast gave me an appetite Do you have any pics of the fish at the back of the boat?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was too busy trying to catch one. I think I went though about 30 different rigs I didnt know whether to laugh or cry before we hooked one !

Nice work - we ventured out to Browns on Saturday but listening to the radio and seeing your catch it looks like we should have gone further out. Top fish!!
