I forgot to mention that the line was only 30lb platypus mono rigged to a 70lb paternoster leader and the red had obviously won a few previous battles as it had a couple of hooks right down it throat which had traces of braid on them.

Hey Barry,

Loved reading your report mate. They are awesome reds. Looks like the weather was great too. Getting that red on 30lb is amazing. Well done to all on board. Great read.

Regards,
Craig.

Barry thanks for posting mate. Congrats to Ken and Franky on a truely great catch. There's not to many you see over that 18kg mark and I'm not sure if I will ever beat my oldmans 18.1kg beast from a couple years back but I have alot of years left to try. I not only think Frank is a the fishing machine but more so a fish attracter.

Regards,
Greg

Greg,
Frank has caught some good fish over the past year with Ty and Nathan on "Reefking", on "Baitrunner" and on "Alexander", We are planning a trip out to the shelf NE of Bundaberg in 4 weeks on the weapon "Alexander". Frank is looking over my shoulder as I type this reply and says hello to you and your old man.
Cheers
Frank and Barry

Guest appearances in Bush and Beach and Fishing Monthly are on the cards and Frank has ordered his own TShirts with the red on the back with the words The Fishing Machine printed on it which he will wear to all the upcoming fishing comps.

Rex Hunt sent me a PM this morning to see if Frank would do a special on catching Red Emperor but as his agent I told Rexy that Frank swears too much for TV and doesn't like all the bullshit.

Cheers
Barry
