a metre long? would be very impressed hard to belive, any proof

Nil. Dropped phone in h2o trying to coordinate boga and rod. It was a mc monster. Didn't fight much though, probably cause I had the drags set for trevs. Taste better than the ones from down south by a long way. must be due to water quality

If it wasn't a meter, then it was 99cm. A metre long flatly has been on my bucket list for ages. Couldn't believe I got it in d town .

As per older post, nil ph. Convenient I know. Not phased. just wondered if flthead were common up here.

They're not that common , but you can definitely catch them from time to time as a by catch. I've caught many down at buffalo creek beach and lee point fishing for whiting and bream during the colder times, good to eat as well.

Great to eat. Catch heaps of them up here in soft plastics. Hard to believe a meter long though. Have not seen them any bigger then around 40cm up here.

shovelnose shark ? :shock:

if you ate it grab a photo of the frame

Def no shark.
Frame located in bushes near boat ramp for further examination. Fillets soon to be located in toilet

Obviously I am without proof, much to my disappointment. Will endeavour to catch another in the coming weeks and get evidence
