nice catch lads.. i want one

if your down this way send me a pm we can organise a session

Nice fish alright, fair play. How long did it take you to land it?

i recon it took about 20 mins

i was more worried about loosing it but it was fun running along the beach shouting at roger to reel in as i was coming towards him

i think he actually asked was i in

last year was more my fault he did ask me to watch it but i hit a fish and was fighting it when i seen his rod flying through the air at some speed

it did cost me a red oblivion so i learned a lesson to

yea was thinking she was def 50 as ive had pleanty on the boat in and around 40 and she was so much bigger and heavier

From a shore? Wow!

Does anyone know what the record is for a tope caught from shore? It can’t be too far from 50lbps or is it?

Nice fish! Well done! Seriously, well done you!

Steve, need a lift down there??

There was a photo of a guy in one of the Sea Angler mags last year with a 55lb Tope taken off Kilcoole beach. You shoud send in that photo above, see if they print it.

I've seen a few big Tope overr the years, I would bet that Tope is well over the 40lb mark, it looks to be a solid looking specimen.
