I went out this arvo to flick a few lures for the start of cod season, got two little 35cm ones early on but then I had to go pick up a new boat trailer.
After I packed up the gear I decided to have a few last cast, 1st cast as the lure came near the bank I got hit by what felt like a train.
5min latter on the little 6lb outfit I pulled in what I thought was a cod but turned out to be the biggest Yellow Belly if landed yet.

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
These wet years have clearly done no harm to your inland fishing. That's a beauty

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
It's gone insane atm, which is pretty good as it's way too hot to harvest any deer so it's putting a lot of meat on the table until things cool down enough to switch back to deer.

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
Now that’s a monster,
Well done speedy.
I recon the yellow belly is the best tasting fresh water fish we have down south.

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
That's trout in my book, but they have gone to deeper colder water now and the yellow belly and cod are running.

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
OK so that didn't last long, 1st I beat it with a damn nice 9.7lb model.
Then 40min later I beat it again with a 11.1lb monster.
Then as I was packing up thinking I couldn't do any better I saw some big ones swim past, quickly cast up the bank and hooked into this giant 66cm 12.7lb absolute monster.

We need to put a gps tracker on you to see where you're fishing...

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
Here's the close up of the other two, the 1st one I got was a cracker, the 2nd one but, damn.
It wasn't that long, but for once I'm not the fattest thing in the photo.

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
Yes, clearly they're on good paddock... Bloody good to see, you should have fish spawning like mad everywhere (I've lost track of when that should be
)

Re: Monster PB Yellow Belly
OK I don't seem to be able to set a PB for very long before I smash it, but this beast is definitely, definitely going to take some beating.
67cm, 14lb Yellow Belly, and absolute donkey of a fish.
But since it was released I'm hoping I can catch it again at 15lb or even 16lb.
