Caught this week ,Copeton Dam, Inverell.
over 4 foot, 123cm
Said he was lucky he had a couple of his mates with him to get it into the boat.
catch and release.

 

[Thomo]

Beautiful fish hope that he was released

 

[Deepseeker]

Awesome! :Y:

 

[Goldtarget]

Got heaps of them around here, just usually a little taller, hoodie and hi viz markings, same open mouth look.

Leave a 6 pack of premix cans out, youll land a dozen, no boat needed.

I thought this was going to be a thread about Demi Moore....

[Gem in I]

[Davent]

One day Ill add a trophy Murray cod to my photo album!
Been on my wish list for many years.
That is one impressive fish, well done to the fisho!

 

[luck it]

Jeezus, how lucky that it caught the end of a treble hook lure tied on line that looks 1-2kg max with a shitty knot. AMAZING!

 

[luck it]

The split rings look totally legit.

Lure was probably removed and sat back in its mouth for the shot to show the lure used! Not uncommon at all to present a fish with the lure visible to promote the lure type...

Also 1-2kg? that would slightly thicker than a piece of hair.. Line looks almost as thick as the treble, at least 20kg as a guess! Regardless, iv caught many murray cod and the bigger they get usually the less they fight and they just become more sluggish, the biggest battle is simply lifting the dead weight. Caught many big fish using lighter line, if you are a decent fisho its definitely doable.

Dont know why people go straight into trying to pick holes in a persons achievement instead of just acknowledging the great catch..

Jeez, youre so virtuous.
I acknowledged their attempt at trying to BS people.
You can clearly see that the split ring on the lure overlaps the split ring on the treble...its not attached.
Sorry if you disagree, but thats where I stand.
Belittle me if you want... but why a still picture and not video recording?

Not doubting the size of the fish...Ive seen bigger.

 

[wiley coyote]

His right thumb must be 12" long!!!

 

[Davent]

Its sitting on the end of his knees and the fish is closer to the camera than the bloke is, which makes the fish look much bigger. Dosnt need to, its a pretty big cod.

Why are you so down on this? Its just a split ring and treble attached to another split ring. Maybe he replaced a bent treble by taking a treble off another lure, and couldnt be bothered to remove the extra split ring. Ive guided professionally for over 10 years in Arnhem Land, the GBR and Princess Charlotte bay. I have put customers into 1000 lb plus black marlin, Meyer Barra and plenty of other fish that would make think about conspiracy fish therories non stop! Many of my customers had not ever caught a fish on a lure let alone a meter Barra or huge marlin. The fish does not know if the guy catching it is a pro or total begginer.

Yep Copeland is at the top of a Cod fisho's list :Y: no doubting the authenticity it's a bloody ripper catch ower: :beer:

 

[Deepseeker]

Yep, it's a bloody ripper alright. I never understood why Rex Hunt used to kiss fish when he caught them. But have a close look at that cods lips.
All it needs is a bit of lipstick and I'd happily suck face with it. Maybe even slip my tongue in too layful:
