[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 50623, member: 2152"] Ok so I'm land based fisherman, usually hunting the redfin (there's no better freshwater fish in my opinion) through in cod, yellow belly, had a crack at trout etc. the two standout stories i have aren't you're typical i got the 100 lb cod. The first occurred a few years back. A mate was running a tassie devil lure over some turbulent water in a local deep stream just on dark, and Bang hit on 4kg monster rainbow trout, which he fought to the bank in less than half an hour. He got it to the taxidermist and still has it on his wall today, but there's more to the story. When we got back that night and took it from the esky there was something that immediately stood out....the old fighter had most of his tail bitten off! I can only guess what must have taken that chunk out it looked like abarracuda had been right on his 6 strangest thing I've ever seen fishing. The other surprise i got was fishing with my neither on an inlet channel to a large lake. Wed scored a few reddies in the still waters but thought we would head down into the drop of and see what w could flush out. Working our way toward the lake a the waters started to calm a little he cast in a large lure and got the most violent strike bending the he fought a brave battle for nearly two hours androd landed the beastie. He looked at me, i looked at him both puzzled. It was a salmon, but why, how? Well we took it home and blow me down they'd released them into the waterway about 4 years earlier as fingerlings, and here we had a full grown freshwater salmon which honestly did not taste as good as it looked.
