Last Saturday went out fishin on my hobie kyak with my stella 1000 and 2lb bream rod. I was trolling my roosta popper in 4.5m swells when i saw a humungous splash in the water and my rod started going off. I was being towed by this humungous fish for over two hours when it finally started giving up;D
Half an hour later the fish loomed out of the 650ft of deep blue water. I noticed that it was almost as long as my kyak. When I got it next to my kyak a realised that it was a huge spanish mackrel. I then towed the fish in behind the hobie all the way back to shore. I got to the boat ramp and asked around for a set of scales. It bottomed out a 50kg set of scales.:o
Sorry no pics as my phone was lost at sea.:'(

no pics???? not saying it didn't happen but without pics it just makes it another story. Would have been awesome being towed around on the yak by a fish like that

He was in a 4.5m swell and 650 feet of water so he may well believe that his rod is indeed 2 kg;)

I landed a humppback this morning on 1kg pretest mono it towed me from Harvey bay to Redcliffe before i wore it out. I don't know how much it weighed as i couldn't lift it. It only took me 3 days to land it, i reckon i would have got it in 2 days but it was foul hooked. Sorry no pics......::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Well he's given us all a laugh and that can only be a good thing.

Good on you mate, set yourself a challenge and take a 1kg stick next time.

[Walker]

That just made my day! :) cheers for your responses guys, some of them really cracked me up... especially the one about the 250kg tuna caught on cotton... I love war stories but that battle is all in the mind - sorry buddy.

[Dylan4.5]

I'd be happy just out there catching a fish! but 50kg's sure it wasn't 50 pound's which is a hell of a fish for any body to catch!! good job

[RAT-KING]

Common guys
