Great fish Rhyss.

I think it goes to show that most people's estimate of fish weight is way off. I have seen claims of 40 KG fish smaller than this.

Thanks Jamie

Buggered if I could get the photo to work. thanks Jamie. Special day on Sunday we got a Mackie, southside of Rotto close to 15kg then went wide and nailed this little beauty. Certified scales, but it sure did look bigger we picked it for 30kg and were over with estimate. Alsao had 2 marlin in the spread, one had a small run but no joy. Overall a great day for some good fish in average conditions. Thanks to the guys on Buddha for the invite.
Cheers. Ohh and Dave takes mint photos.

 It looks big because Rhyss is only 4 ft tall.
