[@fisherman7834]

hey mate why do you turn the boat so much before hooking it

[@sikaddiction]

What was the wound from when he is still in the water mate?

[@peaksportfishing]

Old battle scares or maybe spawning marks,

[@hewagenimal3053]

What kind of fishing line mm ?

[@andrewshackleton2917]

There was two fish 20 years ago one caught bye George lea and the other bye Mel Kisbey . Sorry about my spelling of the names guy's. Both just under 500 kilos and both out of Batesman Bay NSW south coast. Look them up

[@peaksportfishing]

Mels went 998lb and not sure about George Lea fish?? have you got any more info on this fish??

[@andrewshackleton2917]

On which fish eddy?

[@doctorzoota806]

nice catch but why not catch and release?

[@peaksportfishing]

We spend thousands of hours hunting a fish like this and it takes true skill and determination to hook, catch and take a fish like this. it is not something any fishing team can do. It is very easy to say you released a GRANDER putting it on the gantry is a whole different level.

[@abusufian4876]

Well said! couldn't agree more. If it's catch and release the same people will argue with the Wight. Oh maybe 400 nah 450 .. it's gose on . Anyway it's not like he is catching 2/3 fish every day . I hope you use the flesh wisely. Thanks

[@PigdonMotorSports]

Congrats on the fish shame it wasn't tag and release taking a huge breeding fish out of the system is disappointing.The chance of survival is a big question I guess but it would have been worth a role of the dice.Just my thoughts and again congrats on the fish and it is good to see Exmouth producing this size fish.

[@powerofone1645]

Catch and release. No need to kill. A photo/video will prove your day out. Such a magnificent creature really deserves our full respect.

[@jupitergueye8684]

.

[@felipfelop8220]

Should of tagged and released a stunning creature like that for others to catch,if you were fishing for that properly,that would have taken over 15 hrs,really sad....

[@peaksportfishing]

Not sure where you got your info on it taking 15hrs?? not even close. Can you elaborate on fishing properly???

[@tbone6354]

Why the absolutely headache bending music crap that spoils the entire video

[@OMGWUNSIU]

Sad to kill such a beautiful creature for bragging rights. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

[@JPM620]

Why did you not release such a beautiful fish. There is no reason to kill such a beautiful creature. Shame I will not be watching this channel again. There are many other channels that catch and release. So sad

[@benmackenzie6347]

Grow a pair Jo

[@JPM620]

You are rude.
