Absolutely crazy stuff! Congratulations to all involved in this achievement. What fantastic fish they are. I can only but hope that one wanders up the Yarra some time ...

Well done there chaps, some bloody big fish from the shore. Hearing the lethal scream was fantastic, the sound of the drag going just fires you up. Might have to see if I can get down there this week.
Cast, catch and put it back

Kingies are on my to do list now. What are they like to eat and is there anything special to do when cooking them?

Saw the pics in the fishing reports, thought these people look familiar.
All I can say is top effort, pity they never hit the spin gear but cracking result guys!

They are still on there was more landed this morning if you want to land one don't procrastinate just hop in your car its only 4 hours and get yourself there. This seems to be an abnormally good run of fish and who knows when they will stop coming in that close.
