It's all part of the fishing experience![]()
Cheers fellas. The set up used was recently added 8lb Fireline with 12lb vanish leader on a 6'6 wilson Live fibre and shakespere reel.
1/8 jig head with a size 1/0 hook was used (didn't have any in 2/0's).
All my PB's have been caught on an Atomic 3 &1/4" paddletail in pumpkinseed or watermelon.
Sure was a great fish and great fight as well. She sure had some life in her and it was even better to see her swim off after a few pics. Truly a moment to remember for me.
Cheers.

Gee RICH, happy birthday dude!!
I'll have to revisit my ole stomping grounds for some of those lizards! Not far from where you fish there, I used to land some of the biggest flatties you've ever seen! We used to troll hard bodied lures at low tide and get smashed consistently by Flatties and big Bream! Gee, that brings back some memories!!
Now, where did i put those hard bodied things???
Take Care T
Great Lizard there Rich.![]()
Well done on the PB again and hope you had a great birthday, and if the pics say anything it looks like you did.
Next time let's see another lizard upgrade, maybe 90cm.

You bloody beauty!!!!!!! Well done mate.

There's nothin' like a PB to inspire some awesome story-telling.
I share your joy Richie. What a blast!!
Mozza
great fish and top story!
Great fish there Richie,
I see those PB'S are getting smashed every session Bru.
Excellent fish handling skills there too mate, especially for release, top stuff, keep it happening. I will have to get you to come with me to my PB spot for 96cm specimen's and bigger, will have to show you my pics of some jewies I've landed lately, thats where most of my efforts lie at the moment before S.fr trip.
Cheers mate, will give you a buzz Barnesy![]()
Well done Rich. That is a fantastic lizard. It is good to know that flatties that size get to play again and produce a lot more for us to play with. My PB is 54cm and that was fun to play with. I cant imagine the fun you had with her. Well done again and happy birthday.

What a blast!
Good fishin there mate. What I want to know is how do you keep your shirt and shorts so clean playing around in the mud like that? There's not a chance I could do that, so you deserve 3 medals, one for the fish, the birthday, and for the new laundry detergent add!!
Happy Birthday for then mate!
