Headed out a tad reluctantly into a fairly blowey night, a real fresh NE wind blowing. Got to the beach and it wasn't as rough as I feared, but there was a nice surf piling in all the same. Got the bait in the water at 10:15pm and settled in for the night. Not a single bite until 11:40pm whan I got a big bang, picked the rod up and hit it the 2nd time. Tightened into him and all I could do at first was keep the tension on the line as I couldn't reel him in. After a little bit I started to retrieve and he came in OK until he got into the shallows and started to go balistic, but after a short struggle he was beached. Lovely fish, no scales with me so I don't know what weight he was but he measured 64 cm in length with a girth of 36cm. A fine plump fella. Anyone venture a guess as to weight?
Fished on for another hour but nothing else stirring, not that I minded too much :

Lovely fish. i don't have my BASS tape handy, but i'd call it about 7 to 8 lbs. Say 7.5.

Nice bass Hagar,well done,,,,,,,,,,,,,i caught one that was 65cms and weighed just over 6lbs but yours looks fatter so id say its seven alright

cracking fish man well done

Beautiful Bass Hagar. Fair play to ya!

NIce one Hagar - Definitely a 7- 8 pounder

According to the BASS tape, 64cms would be 6lbs.

Super fish there Hagar, well done.

Nice bass - probably less than 7 lb, maybe 6.5 lb as it looks a bit plumper than an avarage fish of that size. I had one of 70 cm the other night which was 7 lb. It looked reasonably well fed although not fat - typical for this time of year.
