Here is a link to another forums weekly report from a few years ago (please remove post if this is an issue).

It doesn't look like they measured its length though.

From commercial catch data the biggest flathead that have seen were 99cm.

We have caught quite a few duskys last year in PPB and corner inlet but none so far this year.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
