:notworthy: You are the man, Adrian :notworthy:
I knew you could do it, even though it was a hard slog at times
When the going gets tough, the tough get going (with injections) :o_0:
Did you get the "largest" as well ??? (I remember you caught your PB this year) :fish11:
You deserve all the accolades and more
One day I'll get down there to show you how to get doughnuts
Cheers Gra

Thanks Gra, no I got my PB on the last day of the 2017/18 trout season, a brown that went 3.85kgs (8lb 8ozs).. Caught it on a $5.00 (normally $15.95) Austackle hard body that I got from Mo-Tackle when they had a clearance sale on..

My best trout this season was only 1.4 kgs (3lbs) only caught three trout over the 1 kg mark during 2018/19 season..

The members who fish the stocked farm dams usually pick up that trophy as well as the heaviest bag for the season..(lazy fisho's in my book) ;-)


cheers
Adrian

Thanks guys, I don't know about being a trout legend though as I'm sure there's plenty of others out there that catch more than I do..
Really appreciate every ones great replies too.. :thumbsup: makes the effort I put into it all worthwhile.. :victory:
My sister (in Goolwa, Sth Aust) sent me a "Lengend Cap" back when I caught 1256 trout in a season, I dare not wear it either.. :-D :-D
cheers

Not being able to make it to the Ulverstone Angling Club dinner/presentation night it wasn't until last nights Club meeting that I knew I had won the Vic Whitehouse Memorial Trophy. Pretty stoked too as I've managed to win it for thirteen years in a row now.. Something I never could imagine I would do.. So feeling good today and looking forward to another trout season in a few weeks time..Club President Phillip Charlesworth presented the trophy..
I have set myself a target of 600 again for the up and coming season that starts on 3rd August, fell 27 trout short of it last season..
cheers
Adrian
