Catching MASSIVE redfin, fishing for giant perch

These massive redfin, or English Perch are the biggest redfin that I have caught for probably 10 years or more. The kind of big redfin that dreams are made of. If 100cm is the magical mark for Murray cod, then surely 40cm has to be the redfin equivalent?

40cm? Try a Redfin from the Collie River at almost 10 pound. That might be the next benchmark for you.

[@robbiefishing]

@@Quinctili LOL Just a little bit far away. 😅

[@EzraSwannellFishing]

Collie river guy here, 10lb is bulldust, they’re up to 50cm I’m there often but idk were you get 10lb from 🤷‍♂️

[@robbiefishing]

@@EzraSwannellFishing I caught a 47cm redfin recently. Gutted it was 1.2kg, so I estimate it to be around 3lb. I can only imagine how long a redfin must be to be 10lb.

[@EzraSwannellFishing]

@@robbiefishingthat’s huge.. yesterday I caught a 38. It’s in my community posts. I’m not sure about the collie river guy though, 10lb is extravagant…

Getting out for a fish not knowing what you will catch is definitely one of the joys of fishing and that fishing spot looks to have delivered up some nice reddies for you this time

Thanks so much mate. I can tell you one thing... they're not there any more. LOL They were sooooo nice.

[@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121]

What a great catch! Doing better than I did yesterday! Nothing but eels and tripping over the same tree stump at least 7 times not to mention the unfrcasted 50mm rain in 10mins 😁 lol I not sure what I love more, the adventures or the fishing! Haha One thing I notice about your waterways though is that you've got a much wider area to the creak channels than us especially after the floods, our creek's are 12-14ft wide 1ft deep untill the middle meter then it drops down by up to 1m, so many snags I've often wanted to go down with a grappling hook and clean up a bit but apparently that's illegal... I'm not sure I'd trust those scales! It definitely seemed bigger than 1kg? I'd definitely be keeping that spot a secret for a while 😂 Awesome job mate 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. LOL Tripping over thensamentree stump 7 times made me laugh. I'm with you, it's all about the adventure. Fishing just happens to be a part of the adventure.

[@benzles8492]

Very nice fish robbie, sometimes those long fish can be quite skinny but this one was in damm nice condition. Very nice fish. But unfort the magic number us reddie hunters chase is 50cms. For ages no one thought they got that big... (not me-I know better.. lols. I know they get over 60cms in size...)My Pb is 1.9kgs, never measured the length as we chased state records back then and never measured length. But I have seen some fish that would make your jaw drop... Keep hunting them, there are some true monsters out there in OZ where our water doesnt cool down like the Euro lakes that freeze do, and they are pulling out fish at the 50cms size range.. Ours grow faster. So if you can find a spot that is untouched or find that smart old monster somewhere, keep that fish and put it on ice uncleaned and weigh it for a state record, you would be shocked how light some of the records are. Anything close to 50cms on very light line will break a state record. Best of luck mate from here in SA.😁

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate. The biggest that I have seen a photo of is 52cm. WOW That's just nuts. Back when Lake Mokoan filled when I was a kid I remember my dad and grandfather catching 5lb redfin. Like you, they were measured on scales and not tape measures back then. Haha I would love to catch a 5lb redfin.
