Captain Kev cleaned up with some of the biggest fish i've seen.Nice Job.
OK. This guy........4lb fireline..........6lb leader.............2inch Atomic single tail Pumpkinseed.........fifth cast on the frist morning.................

60 lb Jewie:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :D

I swear this thing definately qualified as a"third boater":D :D

[Kris]

sunrise Mallacoota way:D
This is easily one of the MOST beautiful rivers in Australia:)

[madsurfe]

geez hooking up to that on a soft plastic and 4lb fireline. Whoever he is needs to be congratulated, awesome job done well

[Bear]

Great pic Kris. Got to be happy with that.

[Kris]

Yeh Bear,
When you see the size of this thing's mouth its hard to see how a TINY softplastic found a place to stay clear of its teeth and the rest..........just BLEW ME AWAY (i admit i've had a fruitless obsession with jewies on lures for a while now):eek: :eek:
The "guy" (gotta find out his name) was chuffed(as you would be)
thanks

Kris:The anglers name is Adrian Lindsay and he's from Canberra - we sold him the new outfit last week.It is a great capture - Once in a life time job :D

I am sure you both must have had your hands full - Great capture !

I hope somebody submitted the details of that catch to :confused: ANSA (are they the guys who do the records).?

[Scotto]

Geoff:ANSA don't accept claims caught with Gel spun lines - and Adrian was using 4lb fireline as his main line, which would break around 10-12lb's.He did have a 6lb Drenan leader however - which makes it a pretty awsome catch.

I though my 15.5kg jew on 14lb fireline was good until last weekend - There is no justice :rolleyes:

[Bear]

By the way Scotto, those 2 bruisers on your avatar don't look too bad either.

[Stuie_02]

6lb leader verus 65lb Fish a little one sided affair go to see the fisherman won. Nice piece of work to get a huge fish like that on a small setup for bream.

Will there be room for the J.E.W Classic?

Cheer
Stuie

PS Jewfish are just silver coloured bream!
Snapper more a reddy tinge
Barra just a big bad black bream
and marlin Pikey bream in disguise!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Bear:I got those two in Lake Illawarra - just South of Wollongong.It's not that often you get both species in this size range side by side.The black bream went 1.8kg and the yellowfin went 1.3kgs.

This is my 1st jew - which I got a No6 Squidgy fish in black and gold on 9gm head, 14lb Fireline with 20lb Vanish leader last weekend :)

Too many fish - Not enough time

Guys,

[Mully Grub]

Guys,

[Mully Grub]

All, Thanks for the kind words reference landing the 65lb Jewe. Lucky catch thats all I can say

Regards

Adrian Lindsay

[Bear]

Adrian,
It takes more than just luck to land a Mulloway of that size on that gear. Very well done.

Nice bycatch when the bream aren't playing.

[Craig_S]

Yep, congratulations on that Adrian.

Thats a staggering catch! I think when I first saw that posted (in print only) I asked if it was a mis-print. One picture is worth a thousand words though. Amazing.

[Mully Grub]

I'm waiting on the photos taken in the boat on slide film. So I'm hoping to post some in the next week or so.

The photo shown on this web page was taken after weighin some 7 hours later. The fresh ones look much better.

We had troubles getting it in the boat and finding a place to keep it out of the shade on the boat (live well not big enough). So wet towels and shade up the front was the best we could do.
