CANT BE DONE THEY SAID… 8 Weeks to TRY CATCH A 1m MURRAY COD

[@TyCampbell666]

awesome work on the cod guys but the one thing I have to suggest is a better system for handling fish, may i suggest a good quality set of lip grips to grip the bottom jaw to assist in fish control and better quicker hook/s removal while the fish is in the net preferably in the water still but if need be in/on deck kayak and always keep it wet for the fish. then back into the water asap and do a quick check on the fish for signs of keenness to get back home, biting down and fatigue damage or something not usually in the behaviour of cod. please assess and if able get a quick picture using the baby cradle support lift also get a assist with bigger fish and release it with all attention now on it's release health and swimming behaviour as it swims away incase of the extreme rare case of a swimming fish belly uping trying to get deep which may involve a swim in after it and that sucks in deep winter before sunlight lol. i honestly hope that doesn't come across with a you did completely wrong way as we all love these fish and as a collective effort better handling techniques can only improve if we all add positive and stop the you did wrong and assist others in the better ways/ideas to help preserve this fish for whoever wants to try for the illusive 130+cm old girls. best of luck with your fishing whoever reads and hopefully take something new from this advice.

Thanks for your time in writing your comment mate. Great insight. And hopefully others learn from it also. You’re 100% correct we always have room for improvement. And as the population grows we want to be better so our kids kids get to see these fish also. 👍🏽

Great Video, thank you very much. One small comment which applies to most Aussie anglers, there is a huge opportunity for improvement on how we handle trophy fish. It helps recording fish by weight & not length, so they are not thrashing around on the measuring table. I watched this Pommy video, really opened my eyes. Hopefully this doesnt come across as too critical, its not meant to be. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2nGfoaupcqpm9k

Thanks for your comment mark and also your concern for the fish. There needs to be more of it. We are all in a learning world and all advice is and should be welcome. Thanks for the link

Yes will agree with some of what you say . To keep them in the net until you measure, I think is best but measurements of Murray cod is about the most accurate . Because depending on where your fishing & food supply that can have more body mass than normal.
