Whats your best bream?

[Tetsuo]

Hey guys,

wondering what everyones PB bream is. My best is 37 and I've seen Damo88 boat a 42cm. There must be a few good ones between everyone here?

[plaztix]

Got a 38cm off the beach at straddie about 10 years ago. It went hard on the whiting gear.

[tailorboi99]

35cm guessing

[chris_lure_man]

hey

mine is 43cm on soft plastic.

[Tetsuo]

What a Beast!
Can anyone beat it?

[Peanuts]

The missus pulled up a 40cm model last thursday at Currimundi.

[Tetsuo]

its always the missus!

[youngy]

44 cm caught at the Spit surf side on a yabbie. cheers Wayne.

[Freeeedom]

Didn't measure length when these were caught - just weight. The larger of the 2 in the middle was just under 2kg and the other over 1.5kg. Estimate at least 50cm - were too big to put in a standard bucket which kept toppling over because too much of the fish was hanging over the side. Were caught from the Hornibrook Highway on live herring in the early nineties.

my best was 43 cm off nelson park in sydney on a salted slimey mackeral fillet. my mate pulled one off there one night that went 48 cms. starting to look like mini snapper

[TheSaint]

pulled a 37cm to the fork maybe 39/40 to the tip.. dropped bigger one also at the boat all in the same Gold Coast ABT event last year..

It was 10grams off the Kilo Mark!

[jayvee]

i just sent my mate a message askin him about a bream i remember him tellin me he cought when he was about 11years old. (asked length and weight) his reply was "i dont remember the length but it weigh'd 2.54kg" i'd say easily over 50cm???

[sandbankmagnet]

I'm only about 37, but a mate of mine pulled a 46 off the beach at Teewah about 6 years ago. You could fit your fist in it's gut cavity. We thought we had the barge prize, but no.

Freedom, I know you know your fish, but they seem pretty elongated. Are they not grunters?

Just asking, they do look mostly like yellow fin but skinny at the mid body.

[SWANY22]

mate got one of hells gate noosa about 15 years ago dont know the weight but went 50cm,and another mate got on from drazic lake that was the length of a 4x carton.

[Cammy]

my biggest is 40 cm up at bli bli.

cam

[Bronson]

yea i got a big one around about the size as cammys got up at the barra park as well but i didnt measure him as i was most disapointed it wasnt a barra

but the biggest in salt water in an estuary would have to be a beasty 36cm bream that took a 12cm herring i no what a hungry bream

bron

[63eh]

on bait when i was a kid 44 to the tip, on plastic 36 to the fork, on hardbody 34 to the fork

[fishingbarry]

Teewah, 45cm to the fork ,1.2kg cleaned , I too thought i had a shot at the barge prize but was not even close.Some mates i have up that way talk of much larger ones in days gone by and I trust them not to be bending the truth.

[Tetsuo]

I think we have a winner! F%*K!

[Jimbo73]

What a horse EOTBMG. not worth mentioning my PB after seeing that. Nice catch

[whitingkiller]

in saltwater - biggest 48 cms and 1.9kg caught at Lamb Island, southern moreton bay

biggest from Jurassic Lake - 55cm and weighed 2.7kgs!....big and fat and stunk!

[B_E_N]

where is this jurassic lake? ive heard of a few different places being thrown around with the same nickname

[whitingkiller]

ben,
jurassic lake is near kedron brook?? down near fishermans island..it is on airport property....a lot of prize winning fish in fishing comps have come from there over the years!

[Ocean Sport]

didnt measure these but they were stonkers caught in the passage about 2 years ago

[breamnut]

43cm fork in tweed last year. wasnt wieghed because i just wanted to get it back into the water asap. cant kill a fish that would most likely be 30 years old!

[Scalem]

This bream was a stud - he must have rounded up so many women he forgot to eat and look after himself during the spawning run. Measured 41cm and vanished from sight if you turned him over by 45 degrees. I should have let him go, we still went hungry after the fillets.

[hoodunnit]

I used to fish in the noosa national park years ago, at hells gate i got quite a few around 40 cms out of the wash .Full pillie on gang hooks .

[Damo88]

Caught this monster last night and thought it required a mention in this thread. ;D ;D

Tetsuo had the pleasure of witnessing such a wonder of nature, just hope its not a sign of things to come for tomorrows comp!! :-[

[Tetsuo]

And what an epic battle it was!!!
