mitchie18092 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Had a flick Sunday night. Land based, Sydney Harbour. Fished from 8:30pm through until midnight. I managed 2, and dropped one. Not the biggest, not the smallest. Bait used with live yakkas (which were ESPECIALLY finicky...). Smaller model fought very well - thought it was a much nicer fish than what eventuated - turns out it was foul hooked, hence me thinking it weighed a tonne. Bigger model fight was odd, to say the least. Thought i had a big squid / octopus / cuttle on the end of my line, so played him super super light (thinking it wasn't actually hooked!). Got him to the pylons, see colour before he realises he is hooked. Few darting runs, and a few nervous moments later we got him up. Happy days. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Nice fish. I have had smaller jewies go ballistic on the line, and larger ones fight like big sooks. I have also had larger ones on a hand line that try to rip off your arms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Useless fisho Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Nice session. Well done. Interesting to note the deformity just behind the head on the larger fish. I usually only see this deformity on bream and blackfish. Hope you get plenty more jewfish in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big boy was well and truly gut hooked - perhaps that had something to do with the manner in which it fought? Appreciate the kind words everyone.

I have had simillar thoughts also about this notching on fish. No one really seems to know how it occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
