Show us ya toga

[scottym]

Saratoga have to be one of my favourite fish to catch. To get the ball rolling, here are a few of the toga I have caught over the years at a majic little waterhole near the upper reaches fo the fitzroy river.

Lets see everyone else's pics of these prehistoric fish.

nice fish mate, hopefully i can add a pic or two to this thread after summer.

hey by the way, what else do you catch up at the camp there mate

[scottym]

There are plenty of sooty grunter and catfish there as well. Some of the catfish I have seen caught there are absolutly huge.

My PB in July this year 90 cm give or take a cm
sight cast at Borumba

Some great toga there.
I have only ever caught 2, and I got them within 15 minutes of each other at NPD late last year. Only small though, one went 45cm and the other 42cm.Here's a pic of the monster 45cm specimen.

Pound for pound they went harder than anything else I have ever caught, I would love to tangle with a larger model.

Jackextracter,
I have seen guys like Gavin Platz and Kim Strathearn catch fish at Borumba over a meter but I think the honours go to Johnny Rowe , the former Guide at Borumba I have heard of fish being pulled out of threre around 1.2 m by him , however I was told by the guy at the Gerry Cook fish hatchery that the ANSA record for the southern strain comes from Lake Macdonald I think he said it was around 1.3 m.
So I have heard anyway

Yeh, that's a cracker that one ya got there Chris. I've only managed to stay connected and boat 3 fish. The 2 best unfortunately when I didn't have a camera with me. This is the only one I've got a pic of.

1.3 is a big fish i can only imagine how hard one that size would go do they jump at that size?

[flyfisho]

I reckon they would , the meterys do , that one of mine did , but another 40cm of Toga slab is a lot of beast to launch from the water !!

[scottym]

wow!! 1.3 meters is huge. I never relised that these fish could get that big. Catching a toga over the meter mark would blow my mind I think. having said that, 90cm is not that far off. Great fish flyfisho.
