queensland My first Flathead:)

[buih87]

I just finished work for the year today and thought i can go fish locally around the city before i went home. had some stinky dead prawns and it was barely 5 mins of fishing and something smashed my line. it was a dead weight until 2m to shore the flatty fought back with force and my Steez started to scream. not long after, i lip grip the flatty and soaked up the feeling of my first flathead :woohoo: . measuring 66cm, i say thats the best first catch of this species:)

hahaha i was waiting for someone to say something about the hat :pinch: sun safety is key when fishing. i put on a good show for the girls having a picnic near by... think the hat isnt a date lure hahaha more like a repellent for the opposite sex

steez did all the work. not me... i admit it hahaha thanks ellicat. i tend to lose battles with fish. i had a catfish bait the size of my fist on a 86lb wire trace bitten off later on the session. something big in the brisbane river...
