Yeah, it would have been a cowanyoung, i just think of them all as yakkas cos they all look so similar lol. I should have taken a photo of it before I tossed it back in, in disgust. I do have a photo of a big one I caught a while back. But yeah, it was a monster.4liters wrote:lolScraglor wrote:I thought I got onto a Kingy yesterday. I was out chasing whiting in westernport, and had a massive screaming run, got it to the boat to see a silver and yellow torpedo shaped fish coming up, lost my sh*t. Turned out it was the biggest bloody yakka I have ever seen in my life. Would have been the better part of 50cm.
Shattered
Didn't know yakkas grew that big, was it one of those Cowanyoung or something?

Just got back from portland, picked up 5 kingies to 96 cms in about 2 hours in the morning, didnt see another fish caught after that.
Winga parked about 200m from us, didnt see him get onto any.

Re: Did someone mention "Kingfish?"
The water clarity was terrible this weekend with water visibility < 3 meters, hopefully in a week or two the water will clear up and the fishing will improve. If any one is heading out this week we got our fish just off Minerva reef.

I could tell you Steve, but I'd have to beat you to death with a kingy head afterwards.Raulfc7 wrote:What strange things you talking about Carl :icon_lolz:CarlG wrote:
