Thanks Homie.
Still want to try the assist style. Alot easier to attach and my thinking is when the fish sucks the assist is alot softer and will give better hook-up rate. Just need to make sure to get the shorter ones.
Then again im no pro so I might just be waisting my time.

hi kitefisher,
unfortunately it was not me in the pic but my mate mike - i was left holing pole & takeing the photo's.
ja, reckon it's a pretty unusual catch on a surface lure (was taken on nomal retrieve).
not sure but think the plug was either a triton or seal point plug. and yes again, rod is an exage -1468 i think.
cheers

Thanks Marc,
It possibly happens more than one would think ,but I cant recall one of my spinning buddies ever hooking one on plug.The reason I asked about the plugs manufacturer is only because if it is a Triton for example ,then I know it is a chissel-nose,and need'nt be retrieved at the speed of light for it to plane/surface-walk,whereas if a needlenose it needs a good winding/speed for same.
Once again I think it is an exceptional catch,I know they take crankbaits,but on plug ,I have never had the privilage to see, (probably just me)
Thanks for feedback.

On a big fish Safari dvd at bassas they were catching all sorts of rockcods on poppers/bloopers. Big splash then just leave it there a while before another splash. To catch a potato bass on plug is pretty wicked though!

Cheers Aqua ,thanks for the info, What tickles me is that the plug used is not exactly one that floats,I saved it and zoomed in on it and it is very likely a Triton polyethylene plug (btw they make one that is very good for 'Tail" there in your neck of the woods.) Even though it is a chisel nose,it still needs some speed to stay on the surface. I am curious as to how long after the plug landed did the fish take it ,or whether it actually chased it down for a distance before taking it.
Hey,
that potato is a pretty cool catch but not totally unheard of. I got one at Kosi a few years back a bit smaller than that one also on a plug fishing for kingies off a ledge.. I was skipping it on the surface, but I had thrown the plug over the same water a few times so he had probably been lining it up on the previous few casts so he was ready for it. still Surprised me tho!!
I also caught a small one on a popper fly also at Kosi. Obviously the retrieve there is a lot slower and erratic so it is more understandable!!
