Thats a monster Matt. One of those tomorrow if you don't mind .

I do whatever the little voices tell me to do

yeah went 82kg caught in a 15 foot boat

That's a hell of a fish. It would have been bigger than the boat.

fish was 3 meters tip to tailhooked in 12.5 meters of water 3.5km from shore

someone told me it was washed up at white hills beach, madurah wat was  the real story!

nah mate that was a tottaly different fish, this one was caught with rod and reel out from Quindalup down at busselton, can be fully vouched for too

sorry i must of been mistaken

i actually think from memory that the one off whitehills was washed up but ppl tried to say they caught it, and from memory that one was a broadbill, but i might be mistaken

I reckon it had to be Photoshopped. Theres no Marlin in Busso

yeah feral he did fight most of the way. hense why he was too stuffed to revive, once hooked he tore off about 300 meter of line on the first run and jumped alot, was pretty spectular especially for down there, apparentyl a few get seen down there too feral, but a long way out no ones ever landed one except me but have been told they are there and this year the waters looking good plenty of baitfish out there already lots of tuna atm too so looking like a good game season imo

This just popped up as a random pic. What was the story behind it Matt? What were you targetting at the time?

was out targetting sharks out of dunsburough all day using big dead slimey macs, on the way in to the Quindalup boat ramp we seen a small sahark cruising around so we threw the bait out, no shark to be seen, so after towing the bait around for a bit we decided that was it, i pulled the bait back to the boat and when i had the trace/swivel to the tip of the rod and was ready to pull the bait out of the water it came up and had a swipe at the bait, i let it back out and bang instantly it was on, an hour lately we got it to the boat(only 800m off the beach).

the fish couldnt be revived so it was kept weighed(82kg) and the head and skeleton donated to the fisheries for research

Great capture!!!!!!!!
