Aardvarking Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Went out to Middle Harbour on Friday night to have another crack at my first jewie, and even after having about 5 yakkas bit clean in half I couldn't get a single jewfish or kingfish to take the hook. Despite that, I had a great day of fishing and caught this stonker of a trev: Didn't have a tape measure on me, but using my rod and measuring that when I got home I measured it at about 58cm, considerably longer than my previous record of 42cm. Got him on my second cast of the day with a 42mm blade, after getting a small flathead on my first cast. It was a hell of a fight with 6lb braid and 8lb leader, at first I thought it was a big breeder flathead before it did some huge pulls and head-shakes as it approached the jetty. Very happy with my biggest fish of the year so far. A great close up of me and the fish: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvarking Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just did a bit of analysis of the photo for it's size, based on the photos I have the trevally is nearly exactly 2.5 times the length of my forearm from it's nose to the tip of it's tail. My forearm is 25cm, making it about 62cm, even bigger than I thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
