It'll never be beaten!

I couldn't make the trip yesterday, but Dad and a mate went out from Coronet Bay.They fished most of the day, landing about a dozen nice whiting and a large calamari during the day, As dusk was settling, they threw some fresh calamari strips out in 6.5m just out from Coronet Bay.

Dad had an almighty run and was nearly spooled. A short time later this absolute beast came to the side of the boat:

94cm, estimated weight of just over 9kg. They managed a few more nice pan sized reds and a keeper gummy, but this was the story of the night.Oh - And despite the fresh calamari strips wafting seductively in the current, it was caught on a dirty old servo pilchard!

I don't think we'll ever get one bigger so I'm back to the jewie quest!
