Brag thread! Fishing/hunting/herping etc

[waruikazi]

I'm hoping this can be a perpetual thread for members to post up pictures of anything you think is an achievment of sorts. Like your biggest fish, burnout, hunt, snake etc. I'll start off with my biggest barra yet and a buff a mate shot last weekend (from another thread).

 

[Serpentess]

Damn! That's a big barra! Nice catch.

The massive coral trout my fiance caught on the weekend. We let it go back to breed some more for us to catch next time

That is a stonker!

I heard you can't eat them when they are that big anyway because of ciguterra poisoning. Is that true?

My two best flatties, first pic of a 75cm, next two pics of a 70cm.
Both released (I release any over 60cm)
Will hopefully beat that this spring/summer

My 7 year old son caught this euro carp (i know a stinky ol carp)it weighed 18 pound and took him about 30 odd minutes to reel in(with a bit of help from me).

A yellow belly that i got last year, i didnt have my scales on me so im not sure what she weighed.

1. Biggest jewie so far at around 83 cm really want to crack the 1mt mark
2. land based kingy about 74cm
3. mud crab caught on peeled prawn whilst going for bream
4. First flathead caught on fly, only about 30cm but i was pretty happy

Oh yeah i also urge anyone who enjoys fishing or hunting to put the greens LAST in the coming election as they are set on banning recreational fishing in a minimum af 30% of Aus coastline, and you can almost guarantee it will be the 30% that has the best fishing..

OK they look like what we called stargazers in NZ used to get them in the scallop dreg Find a good raw fish recipe best way to eat em. MMM missing the fishing buzzz

 

[waruikazi]

That looks like a BT from the Larry rockwall? Always a good spot when the harbour isn't producing.

Guzzo have you ever played Footy or done security in Darwin? You look a heap familiar but i just can't place you.

Yeah that's right, its not recommended due to the risk of poisoning. They don't taste very nice at that size either, full of fat veins and chewy. Plus we don't believe in keeping them at that size, it just feels wrong.

Hey mate just so you know stargazers and flathead are two distinct species.


Mary River Cod that me and my mates caught (not technically my catch as it was on his lure but it took all 3 of us to get it out, and it wouldn't have been done with only 2 of us so we're counting it as a group catch)
