pb dhu

went over to rotto with a mate on the weekend, the weather was on the bad side most of the time but come sunday lunch and the wind died off a bit so we went in search for some nice lumps and it wasnt long till we found em, took a while to find something bititng but then the 24kg backbone was doubling over like ive never seen, made my mate piss big time... dunno wat it was but i was callin it for a sambo or ytk but will never know. the bites stopped and so did the wind so out wider we go, found a nice lump in the 50's with only an hour or so of sunlight left, down goes a big chunk of fresh squid and my mate again was on nice lil pinky to 3 kilos(baby for the depth we were fishing). then next thing i know something hit my bait and almost pulled the rod out of my bloody arms, i was onto something good 10 minutes went by and we got colour, got it to the surface and i just moaned dhuy... stoked. got it in boat for a few snaps then straight on ice, after all ended up with 3 flathead(2 of wich was a double header), 2 sb fish, a huge foxy,1 lil pinky and nice dhu that pulled 16.9 kilos... not too bad considering ive only ever caught one and it wasnt even size. will post photos  when i pick my camera up.
