Reply With Quotewow wat a cracking flatty, i wouldnt have my fingers in her gob though lol

not my fish but a good friend wrestled this little girl in down Pottsville way recently. went 116cm and 4.2 kilo. I didn`t think crocodiles were found that far south!
pretty certain she was released but......
if for any reason you wish to bash this thread #### off to another forum.

What a magnificent fish, and there lies the stupidity of the nsw rules regarding flathead, good on your mate if he let her go but by law you are allowed to keep 10 fish per day and 1 fish per day over 75cm, i mean how often do you catch a 75cm plus flathead?.
Great fish 116 cm s WOW... still pulling a few jew champ?
yeah Paul , sent you a message a while back but read you were away on hols . if you didn`t get my message let me know.
after further discussion he .. Jason , actually caught 3 fish 96cm , 109cm and this one . all bar one were released as one girl wouldn`t swim and sadly gave up the ghost ! all caught on whole pillies. more pics to follow !

Cracker of a Croc, thanks for sharing.
thats a cracker of a flathead buddy. Well done mate. BTW, those other 2 pics didnt come out.
Cheers, Doug.
Love to use Preditek or Kingfisher lures or Viva Lures when I am out fishing.
click on the link it should work. the pics show up when I preview the post but are gone when I upload it ? I`m lost.
That is a fantastic fish.Originally Posted by Fish_gutz
We've seen a couple of giants on Ausfish recently. Please tell me that the extra photos are on a drag mat or have the measure beside them, I would love to see a meter plus flatty picture with a measure beside it one day (I am not suggesting that anyone is lying, I would just really like to see one of these m+ flatties and especially a 110+cm one with a measure in order to end the debate about their existance)

Tim a guy i work with's dad has an old pic of a flathead that HIS dad caught off the wall at shorncliffe many many years ago up on his wall at home. The fish is laying next to a ruler, you can not make out the exact length figure, but you can see up to the number '118' quite clearly back what looks to be about 5cm from the tip of its tail. Then the numbers start to blur
Looks to me to be around 125cm long.
Top fish. Congratulations.
One question though, my biggest flathead ever went 95cm and weighed 6kg exactly (on certified scales). A flathead 116cm long and only weighing 4.2kg seems very light.
You need new scales mate.
there`s always one isn`t there.
I don`t need new scales as it was "not my fish" as stated very early in the post!
also I`m not your mate !
I just thought that a meter plus lizard would be great for the punters to see as I would love to see a pic of one also.
maybe yours ate a small child before you caught it !
your second post for the year grumpy dude and its a ripper !
maybe you should share your picture of your 95 hanging of "certified scales" for us all to see.
Sorry you feel that way fish_gutz. As I said in my post , it's a top fish. Congratulations to whoever caught it. Any flathead over a metre is a monster and I just would have expected it to go a lot heavier.
It wasn't my intension to take the p*ss in any way, shape or form. I just normally do accurate measures and weights on any fish I worth putting in the photo album.
Perhaps my third post for the year will be better recreived.
