Fish Of A Lifetime

[ellicat]

Forget your blue whale, marlin, big pelagics, jews and kingies.
I want a metre or more murray cod from a river.

What is your dream catch ?

[Luc53]

70 cm bass 

[ellicat]

Got your passport up to date ?

Although I did say "dream"

[samsteele115]

Hmm. Lots of things, but next on the list would be a big Spanish on a surface lure. Boating a fish from an aerial strike would be pretty cool

[The Mad Hughesy]

not always looked upon with much approval sometimes, but this summer i hope to crack the 10ft range of men in grey suits, tag it and release it to fight another day

[Angus]

Wild Scottish salmon.

On light spin.

[Dinodadog]

60cm bass measured correctly. I am close, very close but very close is not good enough.

[Sparksie]

Honeymoon Bay 2017 Brian? 

Couple of towels and some Bundy & Cola.

Ooops, wrong topic, I was thinking catch of a lifetime.

[Old Scaley]

Red Emperor over 80cm..............

[timtam_]

Probably a 60cm Jack on the surface... I can dream!!

[Luvit]

Same as Old Scaley, we should hunt them together 

And a Marlin on soft plastic.

[Madmic]

I would love a meter+ NT Barra. 

Might be simple but would make me very happy 

[PA Pete]

1m+ queenie and a 60cm jack [i'm close on the jack]

[ellicat]

I wouldn't mind any or all of those and some spot-tail bass as well, but the cod has been my dream fish for the last 20 years or so. I should do something about it, as there doesn't seem to be that many in my office.

Hmmmm... Tough one.

Having spent many hours chasing dream fish and getting lucky/ar$ey a few times, this is a tough call.

used to be a "big" king (over 1m) but nailed that one about 2 years ago now. On a plastic on 20lb in 9m of water... Definitely a lot of "ar$ey" in that one.

Haven't yet caught a Murray cod of any size or description. Or the one tuna species that always iludes me - the yellowfin. Obviously a 300lb+ model in either would be ideal...  Or a 1m/10kg snapper. Just coz.

 

or @Sparksie suggestion... room for one more?

Not sure what started it (suspect it was reading fishing books when I was around 10-14 years old) but for me it's a BIG jewie (not sure how big, at least 15kg I guess) off the beach. Have always dreamt/romanticised about that one so I'll stick with that even though there are many, many others I'd also love to bag. At some stage in life I'll have to get serious about trying to nail it.
