Search for the 40cm+ bream

[B_E_N]

my grandfather has told me this story countless times, but im fairly sure hes not liying, hes not one to exaggerate or lie. but when he was a boy he was fishing down off the rockwall/shark fence at shorncliffe one night when he almost got destroyed by the biggest bream he's ever seen and caught. he didnt weight it but he said it was the length of the old old courier mail opened up. still ill never know if it was true or not, not many people had acces to a camera in those days and no really used to it photograph a bream! but hes grandfather, his father, my dad and myself are all keen fishers, and in 70 years he hasent seen or heard of one bigger.

Hi Rob,

nice catch down there on the Goldy. I had never seen a bream bigger than my biggest of 38cm also. Until a few weeks ago i was chasing Barra up near mouth of the Fitzroy in Rocky. My mate who I was fishing with (who is not a fisherman) landed a silver bream 48cm, on a large live prawn under a float.

What is the biggest bream that anyone has heard of?

I think I attached a pic. Still learning....

I've seen pics of silver bream that are 60cm, easy 3kg+. But they are not from Aussie waters.
