Australias BIGGEST TOPWATER GT

[@JonnyBrooksFishing]

My jaw is on the floor. What a fish and what an effort. Well done

[@GTBUSTER]

So good hey...

[@mikeconan3177]

Huge fish Brooksy catch big gs to all amazing fish

[@rosswilson5364]

I don’t want to hurt him...was one of his first comments. Respect for you both mate. True sports fisher 👍. Magnificent effort 😎👍🎣

[@slam5263]

Like you say, that is the fish of a lifetime, the fish we are chasing. Very well handled being solo in the boat. Love the reaction when he realises it's a Geet. What an awesome video and fish. Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

[@GTBUSTER]

Unreal hey, thanks for watching mate

[@pelagichunter9266]

Cheers mate!

[@RocketsFishingAdventures]

Insane catch... also 8:36 Let's just take a moment and consider how close Tony was to having approx 80+kg of angry GT attached to his testicles via a set of 12/0 trebles! 😮

[@GTBUSTER]

Hhahaha that’s true

[@sgtcaco]

When he said that’s not bleeding. He meant his balls 🏀 🏀 😂🤣

[@slyarsenal]

Credit well deserved! Love seeing people catch their fish of a lifetime. My mates always ask why I love fishing so much. They just dont understand the feeling or true achievement behind it. Some people get lucky and hook huge fish with little experience, but they too dont understand what it's truly about as those who have been fishing for many yrs. Landing such fish is a lifetime reward for all the long hours, hardships, money spent, patience and lost fish. I continue searching

[@jake11101]

you gained absolute respect off all pelagic fishermen off the world. Congrats for this epic fight. You're the man

[@mylurebox]

Completely speechless. An incredible effort. That is an unforgettable fish for anyone who watches this video.

[@pelagichunter9266]

Thanks mate! Glad you got to see it! 🤙

[@bradgreen9936]

Thanks for sharing, the best part is he captured it on video so no one can doubt him. Thats one hell of a fish😎👌

[@GTBUSTER]

That’s right mate

[@sharkyshepo8167]

Good in ya busta, u posting this vid for him only shows ur passion for gt's Iv been speaking to tony for the last 12mnths, he helps heaps with gear info, top bloke on ya Tony & on ya bruz 🤘

[@wirthexploring]

Absolute goosebump moment when he realizes it's a Gee!!! Tony you legend, thanks heaps for sharing Buster!

[@oldmatescano7370]

Awesome! Just awesome!! The fact he got it on a saragosa and a t curve as well make it all the more cool. Proves a medium level combo can still go the distance on such an awesome fish. I love also how he’s written it off as a shark for 10 mins, then he starts to wonder that maybe, just maybe it’s not. We called my mates biggest ever red emperor for a shark, and it turned out to be a 10kg plus red. You just never know for sure until it breaks the water surface. 🤤

[@pelagichunter9266]

Thanks mate! I'll never write it off as a shark ever again! Fight until sight!

[@josefloridaflatsfishing2478]

That very well might be the biggest GT in the world. Much respect to him for doing it solo and making sure to not hurt that magnificent BEAST. Thanks for posting the vid !!!

[@zachmuphy_6713]

Love how initially he thought “shark” , then the fish of a lifetime appeared..well done on catch and release..definitely a dream fish for most if not all of us..but a reality for this legend with all his dedication..that lure next to his leg while lifting it up gave me flashbacks when you got hooked..pheww thank goodness the fish was tired and not flopping around..awesome share brotha..

[@GTBUSTER]

I was thinking the same thing with the hook mate

[@pelagichunter9266]

A few have mentioned the hooks... It was the least of my worries haha

[@davewatson3398]

I’ve never caught a GT, don’t live in a country that has ‘em. But as a fellow fisherman, that is one helluva fish. Congrats my dude ! 👍

[@joshgollanfishing]

Absolutely love what you did with the footage mate seeing his emotions when he realised is what it's all about. Such a legend and a great mate, so loved seeing what you did for him 👌👊

[@FinsnTins]

Insane fish. We were out that day and saw him swimming something for ages - didn’t realise it was a prehistoric slob like that

[@greggaston6906]

Monsta!! Bang Bang Bang from a Cannon!! This sucker is a Freight train! And he landed this beast SOLO!! That makes it 10x harder and an even greater accomplishment!! Good gravy what a Banger!! Hilarious it was SOOO Big he thought it was a bloody shark for most of the fight! Just tore him up. Thank God he didn't just purposefully break it off thinking it was a shark! Just goes to show, IF you don't see the fish clearly, stick out the fight, you might just have a 60+ kilo Banger on!! Loved it!

[@chrislunnon316]

Wow that is huge!!!!! Any guess on weight ?

[@SevenDaysSalty]

This is mind blowing. I will say biggest solo GT ever captured. Well done mate and if shimano don't spot ya a new stella there bums hahahah.

[@stever6894]

Congratulations on such a great fish. What was your estimation of the weight?

[@pelagichunter9266]

Thanks mate! There have been a heap of estimates thrown out. The credible ones ranging anywhere from 60kg to 70kg. If I had to put money on an exact figure I'd say 62kg.

[@wayneseeto1972]

The old man caught one about 165cm on a 200kg hand line in PNG land-based. He thought it was a shark too haha. Came in real easy because it swallowed his livey so it was gut hooked. It fed 2 villages. Tony's effort though... that's clearly his super power 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Japanese has a formula to work out how heavy the GT is. Requires The length, the waist size to work out how many kg. But I guess this one is 70kg+

[@GTBUSTER]

Not much freeboard left

[@zippymax1]

Google says the world record GT is around 73 kg. The fish in the vid looks more like 100 kg to me. The way he struggled to get it in the boat, the way it crushed his lap when he tried to hold it...gotta be a world record. Another thing: the record GT is pictured, and this one looks way bigger to me. And the 170 cm equals the record length. And the 170 cm fish in this vid looks thicker, fatter, and beefier.

[@GTBUSTER]

Well that’s some interesting facts there. Would have been good to get some more data hey.. poor old Tony battled through though... cheers for that
