Re: Worlds Biggest Match Fish Caught

Incredible match weight. I used to be on the open circuit and have amassed some good weights myself but nothing like that. My only fear with those sort of weights would be the fishes welfare. Unless the angler concerned had a wide selection of keepnets to use at the same time I can well imagine what the weigh in would have looked like with huge numbers of fish crammed into one or two nets. This was one of the main reasons I gave up match fishing as a few contest anglers gave little thought about the fish at this critical time.

Funnily enough I go birdwatching at Boddington from time to time and have never seen major action like this when I have been there. Obviously the right angler at the right time.
