    Poll: What's the biggest thing you've caught in a cast net

    I ask this because over the years throwing a net i've ended up with all sorts including legal Bream, Flathead, Garfish a Longtom, Bonito etc. But when netting yesterday in a small feeder creek no wider than 3 m I felt something pulling in the net only to find the biggest Stingray i've ever seen let alone caught. This thing would've been three feet across and over 15kg. Thankfully I was using a drawstring net and just grabbed the top and let him go. So just want to know what suprises other people have found in their cast nets.

    A legal size Barra off the old marlin wharfe in cairns many years ago, only fish caught that night.
    I too would have done a JC if netted a croc of any size.

    Hi, One time years ago, me and a mate were drag netting in a creek up at Turkey beach while the prawns were in abundance, and we netted 5 large buck mud crabs. As with the Prawns,,,very tasty~~~

    I didn't catch it, but I saw a decent cod caught once, esturary I mean. Myself, the only unusual thing I ever caught was awhole school of spottie mackeral, all about 3 inches long; but I can't really use one and rarely try.

    Nuggstar, that's crazy stuff mate.
