Congrats that is a big fish. What is the weight? Where did you catch it?
Thank you.
Not sure of the weight, felt like 3kg+ but I at least measured it at 61cm.
Caught it at Hazelmere dam with 30lb braid, 30lb flouro leader, Motor-Oil worm, 8.30am on 14th Aug 2010.
The water was 7m deep (though the fish was suspended against the rocks) and 12°C, clear and still.
The fish was around some of the only branches hanging into the water.

Congrats Markshark, that looks like a really Gr8 fish and it seems like it gave you a decent fight.
Hahaa ja. It hit the lure with force, thought it was a barbel at first, peeling line. It took me into the branches and got stuck. Tugging on the line to try get it free but couldn't, so I took out my camera and took a video of her before she escaped so that I would at least have some proof of hooking 'the big one'. Luckily for the heavy braid i was able to break the branches and get her out.

Hazelmere usually produces many fish but mostly under 1kg. A big fish is hard to come by there.
Markshark, I also have a kayak which I use there. Maybe wo could hook up and go for a fishing trip there. I'll keep you posted.
