Beginners Luck? hmmmmmmm? what did you dip your lures in, was it almond or banjo or perhaps something for the cold weather like bunspice? And the ball-dip?

Well tbh possible that he caught a 3kger considering the prev record being 2.7kg and it could've been spawning.... But that he caught lots of fish? Lots generally means 4 or more, and 4 or more and a 3kger coming outa struben..............
Anyway if it was the truth, it must've fought like a beast, considering how the struben ones usually do it.

Did you weigh the fish to confirm this?
Because when i started out bassing i caught a fish wich i thought was 2.5kg lol.. only to be brought down to earth by my scale stating 950g
Not trying to be rude bud but estimating the weight of a bass when you have not caught many bass is no easy task.
Ive done lots of fishing at struben and the biggest ive managed is just under 1.5
so i think its highly unlikely
just my 2c worth

Considering how many people think your post isnt total truth, it maybe your problem ? 
Easy guys, I don't think it's fair to call an angler and a new member a liar just because he doesnt have pictures of his catches at a notoriously difficult piece of water.
We all know that with Bass, you get those days where you can't make a mistake no matter how you try, and perhaps Michael just got there at the right day, at the right time when the fishing was red hot.
I have a dam that I know always produces, and I know exactly how to fish that dam when everyone is blanking around me. Yet, I have had days recently where I couldn't buy a bite. So the opposite could be completely true as well.

Loams granted but what are the chances that someone starting out new, still looking to purchase equipment(judging from his other posts) and unsure of lures.... catches a 3kg(how would he have a scale if he doesnt have equipment?) and plenty others at struben.
There is a large possibility of his entire story being true. But it is a very difficult tale to believe all factors being considered.
I think if he gave details on his catch and how he measured them and what he means by plenty of fish we could confirm his catch. Most people who tell of any fishing at struben call recall what lure they were using, where the caught it, how they were fishing it. Usually however they can't give a weight as the fishing is so bad most seem to just leave their nets and scales behind.
All things considered I have formed my own opinion that he did catch fish there.. No more than 3. And that the biggest was probably around 1kg. The other two around 100grams.
However, as stated before, he could've caught that 3kger and more... but some more info would be great to "sort" of confirm this. The main of which seems to be how he came to 3kg as a weight estimate.

All I can say is that the sealine boys do not believe until they have seen. There has been in the past a lot of chancers and posers. Unfortunatly these boys have ruined trust on the forum.
So don't take it personally if the guys have a hard time believing you.
Boys Iv seen a lot of wonderfull things happen to beginners and yes even a beginner can catch a 3kg at struben. Fish become use to the old presentations and methods of fishing and sometimes when a newby does somethng compleatly diffrent the fish nail it. So just give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
