JT congrats on a great fish. I am so pleased that the big girls are on the protected list far too valuable to only catch once. We had a good day down the pin this time last year & got 10 over 70cm & all up 20 on the day, Peter.

Abbott and Newman what a great next few years "NOT"
Awesome Flattie John!! Well done on the new PB!!
Thats a cracking fish JT you shore know how to upset your partners
On your wifes bithday you take the cake.
And after a few pre fish trips you smak a fish like this while Marty's at work.
Are you still liking the Squidgy Pro range & would you take them over the Gulps?
Hope we see some of them in the Classic good luck on the repeat.
When all else fails "stick it" on the bottom!
Well done John.
Thats a awsome fish there mate![]()
94cm is a cracker![]()

Very nice croc mate, so close to the magic metre.![]()
Its obviously that time of year again.
Nice fish JT you should have let your missus play it for her birthday but lol
Cheers for the replies guys
Keith - she was caught down the Southern End of the Broadwater.
Marty - Yeah, must have still been on an adrenalin high, don't worry though as I tell the story from here on I'll be sure to add a couple of cm like any good fisho should.
MattChew - I would say that with the fish just coming on now, the Flathead Classic could see record numbers of fish caught - I wonder if that magic metre fish might be caught this year - be nice to see that. Oh - I threw a tape on the brag mat, must have been one of the good batch as it all good
Dave (Deadstick) - mate just happy to have a wife who wants to go fishing on her Birthday. Although one year the Flathead Classic fell on the 16th and I fished it. I Will NEVER, EVER make that mistake again
. At the moment the Pro Range is my prefered SP, but I always have a Gulp on one of my rigs.
Coucho - would have had no troubles letting her land it - last season she boated a 76cm.
Before the Classic lets hope the Northerlies and the snot weed disappear.
Cheers
John
Very nice flathead mate, the pics probably wouldn't do it justice.

Very Nice flathead John, even I'm impressed and you know what I think about Flathead.
Hope you get a good turnout for your flatty comp.
Steve W and Matty F asked me to be the 3rd man in thier team, I alsmost weakened and then remembered that it was a FLATTY comp and politely declined the invite.
Steve has since told me that they wanted me just to write the scores and take photos.!!!!!
He's a cheeky boy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers

Good one John!
I also used to get my missus birthday presents that I liked more ;-)
Cracking effort there mate! How many times did you go over your knots and rig in your head while you were playing the big girl???
And Happy Birthday to the missus!
Jimbo
nice flatty JT, thats a monster pb.....
You musta been worried about 12lb leader at the netting stage.
Im sure there be a bit of competition between you and marty now.
Andrew
WOW Mick - I would never have believed it, I can now go to my grave knowing that I impressed you with a flatheadand knowing how much you despise flathead I know how hard it was for you to say that. But that's only step one, next time you see one I would like you to try & touch it - just once. Who knows if you follow the 12 step program in 12 months we might see you on a team fishing the Classic
.
Jimbo - mate, have had some leader knot problems of late so I must say that I a little bit worried. But it looks like those probelms are behind me since I changed by leader from 14lb Berkley Vanish to 12lb Sunline Basic FC.
Andrew - when you see a fish like that you always worry about your leader, although that worry eased a little when I saw that she was pinned nicely in the top jaw and the leader wasn't anywhere near her teeth. There always a bit of friendly competition between Marty & myself, but now that I am beating him by 3 cm I am sure that he'll come back with somthing a little bigger - he always does.
Cheers
John
...who said the competition was friendly!!!![]()
Nice fish mate, was ther much weed about?
Cheers Sean
Sean - there was still quite a bit of snot weed about, but it had changed colour, instead of being green it was brown, hopefully that means its all dieing off now and it'll all be gone before the Classic
