I was fishing with a friend in maybe 1992-3-4
and we got some little rock crabs to target blue bone in Karratha at a spot everyone went by to get out and slay the big ones
well we cleaned up in an hour or so and thought what a calm day lets go for a troll
Well before you know it we are out the back of the ore carriers thinking this is great
Lets fish the bottom
2 150lb hand lines go over and we got bitten off, we got half fish, we got the biggest Powertail in the history of Powertail (all the while sucking down the new 5.6% hahn ice) so i thought chuck a mulie(or pillie for the no purist) out the back
WELL
I got my mate to bring in both handies at the same time(end of both of em)
And i pulled the most un expected fish in wy life
We were in a 3.75m quinnie with a 9.9 evo and about 30nm out to sea
And on our way in at 530pm there was almost a ripple
sorry no photos yet but when the mother of my son wakes we will find them

Well here they are
My mate Andrew and my self both had no skin left after handleing this beast
We both nearly ended up in the drink
And it swam off in a good mood, but it did hit us with tail and we nearlly went swimming again
We sat there for another twenty or so minutes, drank the rest of the poison(beer) we had and scooted back in
our significant others didnt believe us until we got the film produced( back in the day when you used a roll of film or u just wait)
there is photos of all the other fish from that day but who cares this was the one

Re: really old billy
Surely that’s not you in the photo?
If so, what happened?
