Good onya Luke. That's certainly one helluva fish Nothing surprises me as to what comes out of the Bay. As Shut Up And Fish said, there's no underwater fence down there so who knows what will turn up from time to time. It's a long time ago, but remember Tangas was once a whaling station and a world reknowned fishery for very big sharks. If northern blues call the Bay home, there's no reason to doubt that yellowfin won't be found there at times either.

Luke

Was that you who launched away chasing? We were anchored at curtain and the boat next to me reversed and gave chase south towards Tangies and end up heading closer to shore. If it were you guys, it sure took an effort to land it ... no wander. Well done!

[lukesnapper]

yes visarend that was us we were in reverse 4 a bit! thats wat we ended up gaffen. unreal hey!

[Billo]

Im in shock .

Yes you do hear of odd captures here and there ,, and this is one of them

You are derfinately amongst a small group that has taken YF within the bay ...and one of that size is nothing to sniffle at ...even for the offshore runs

hell of a fight on 20lb i bet !!!

[visarend]

Excellent work, you had my entire family green with envy! Great work.

Great fish

Just on Curtin it is amazing what is there at times. I was diving there last year and came across a school of Wahoo. Around 6 fish all in the 15kg range. I would never have thought you would see them in the bay either. Anything is posible.

Cheers

Hi Guys

I thought I would buy into this one as well. A couple of years back at Bulwer we saw a whole school of good sized YFT crashing through a school of sauries that couldn't get away. I guess in many respects it depends what bait is around and how the currents push down the coast as to what can and does turn up.

About 15 years ago or more we saw a sailfish free jump in front of the Sandhills. I think if someone pulled the plug on the bay, you would be amazed at what would be left flopping around on the bottom.

Matt

PS Great fish but I agree with Smithy, looks small at 45kg.

Great fish, must say I too was thinking longtail misidentification initially.

Further to the unusual bay captures, a few years ago we caught a couple of dolphinfish between Mud Is and the 4 beacons. I think the pelagics follow the current south and a few don’t make the left turn at the northern end of Moreton island (trench area) and end up stuck in the bay.

Cheers

Wether it's 45 kilo or bloody 25 mate its still a great fish for the bay.

[lukesnapper]

well i better throw them scales away then there not an expensive brand, o well if they were out like most people seem to think! it wouldnt have been far off, like i said earlyer thats only one side pic no one has seen how fat and round it was so how can u judge it! i struggled to lift it and i throw around 40 kilo bags of cemen no worries! cheers

[Darryl]

Luke mate honestly who cares what the doubters think mate. Good onya.


Jealousy is a bitch


I mean whats wrong with some of you people, this fella is proud as punch of his catch and you or some of you are taking his spotlight.

Christs sakes give it a break will yas.

I dont mean to be directly rude but shit there has been some shitty comments from some of you blokes.


All my love Darryl.

just for comparison's sake, this is a 19.8 kg longtail I caught earlier this year. Weighed on digital certified scales. I'm 183 cm and 90 kg for comparison and the fish is hard up against my chest.
