Damn, you got that as well
Definately a day to remember (& you don't need to exaggerate the size of the fish)

P.s. What bait ???

Rex Hunt has been one never afraid to put his name to contribute to a lot of fishing issues PPB scallop dredging is a big one more recently ramp rage other celebrity anglers have been somewhat absent from controversial issues more than happy to run their retail chain and fall out with fellow television hosts for opening retail stores in close proximity to their shop.

Rex isn’t perfect but he’s a living legend of Australian fishing

It was a great day and a big thanks to VFA once again. There were a lot of people up there and speaking with the organisers they were very please with the turnout.

It was great meeting Rex and he mentioned that the 2000 ex brood stock released in the area were destined to go to the local fish market at some ridiculous price.

I know we came up because of the chance of hooking up to one of those stockies. We spent money on petrol, fishing gear and at the local shops. Kids spent time outdoors and with their grandad.

Gra. Bait used was powerbait.

You're right rb85, Rex isn't perfect but he has sure done a lot for fishing and he continues to do so. What a legend!
