I have never experienced or seen damage to flathead that size. Must be some serious Tailor or lots of them.

Hi Evil Nev,

Quality Tailor you caught there, wish they were consistently that good in the harbour, like those down south.

Congrats

Thanks mate. It would make for some hard fishing in a bream tourny.

Aaaaaah this one would have been 28 to the fork... but

That last flatty in those pics might have survived.

Iv'e caught a flatty in lake tyers missing his tail. Again, plenty of big tailor in tyers

caught a couple of "stumpy's" on lures, where the scales and skin have actually grown over the injury with 2 or 3 inches of the fishes tail section missing. they lose no swimming ability due to their snake like profile.
