Re: Massive lizard
I've seen flattie heads nailed to trees at lake Conjola that were bigger than shovel heads. Not saying that the one in the pic is as long as me (the angle gives it away) but still a nice fish.

Re: Massive lizard
They're all big flatties and I would love to have been the one to catch them, or even one of them.

Re: Massive lizard
Saw a flatty caught at Nambucca Heads that was as long as a park bench well over 150cm. Old guy about 80 nailed it with a hand line. On break wall out side caravan park at mouth and walked it down to beach
standard council park bench we all would have sat on. MASSIVE
