That sped-up footage around 7 minutes is brilliant. Not only looks cool but gives us a sense of the many casts made. Thanks for another awesome video and huge congrats on the big one.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Thanks heaps mate! I really enjoy the time lapse casting sequences as well!

That was fantastic, great to see one that big.

Great stuff mate

Thanks man!

[@tomjarmanfishing3208]

Such a whopper mate! Awesome 🥳

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Oh yeah! Thanks man!

[@FishandHunt]

Nice fish mate would have to have been 1.2m or bigger 👍🏻 For mid-winter swimbaiting in my area, the Central West of NSW, I've found that the pre-dawn bite has always fished better than pre-dusk with most of my metre plus fish coming in the 4:30am - 6:30am window and a few fish coming in between 6:30am - 8:30am, then it slows right down. That 1/2 hour before, and 1/2 hour after, first light is the golden hour. After that the fish mostly seem to shut down and they go bask in the sun to warm up, often right up in the shallows.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Totally agree mate! Thanks for watching the channel 🎣

[@borgfishlures]

Behemoth!!! So cool!

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

I couldn’t believe it when it came to the surface 🤯

[@user-zk7ly2rj7s]

That definitely wasn't filmed this week! Lol. Lake Misery is back to it's usual self! 😂

Absolutely epic fish! 👌

Thanks mate!!

Big monster, luv it.

Great capture mate. I bet it was freezing at that time of the morning

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Yep it certainly wasn’t warm! 😅

[@balandaplaya2393]

What a book head cod imagine the noise that would make on a top water strike

[@douglasjenner4066]

Well done mate 👏 What a ripper fish 🐟

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

So stoked with that one!

[@douglasjenner4066]

@@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917 I would to mate if I caught my first metrey

[@grumpyoldb1386]

Brown Dog does it again. One of the best colours Jakal make.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Absolutely I’ve caught some whoppers on that one now and have no plans to retire it!

[@roleyboon]

Any gueses on length? Surely pushing 1.4m?? Just seems like a ridiculously large Cod. I know he and Colby have caught a lot of big fish. But we rarely get a measurement. I think it adds to the coolness of the fish to know how long or heavy it was.

[@craigo472]

Brooooooo… I was legit out there with my wife and two boys and saw your camp, we were fishing pretty much right in front of your setup, I would have came and been a creeper and said hello if I knew it was you haha 😂 lived in Inverell my whole life, still haven’t seen a cod out of the dam with my own eyes, worlds unluckiest fisherman when it comes to fishing out there haha… saw you heading out just after midday in the boat the day I saw you 🤓👍🏼 what a mammoth of a cod though! 🎣

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Thanks mate! I’m sure the stars will align for you soon enough! Cheers for watching

[@archisalvage]

What an amazing catch. Had to be well over a meter!

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Absolutely mate, it was a big one!

[@buster_1972]

OMG 😱 what a dinosaur of a fish. You could retire after that. And how calmly it swam away.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

I could.. but won’t 😂😂 thanks for watching the channel!

[@liketop_pranks2878]

They use Zelinsky for one purpose to get rid of dissatisfied people and the government is aimed and made to solve economic problems by setting up a war and Ukraine another picture to help to get back in power and let the war get rid of pensioners and all debts and unnecessary people once again gets rid of problems, and we people interfere with the rich and incumbent president to manage the war. The president and neither side went to the ceasefire and it means that the genocide in two points was organized, the war helps the economy in the West and was quoted in a Russian newspaper. People have become dumber and do not understand what is happening. And the authorities do not change that they brought to genocide not guilty neither one side nor the other. Media say one thing, victims say another, and presidents do not want to hear another. They want to block the world from others, block KZbin and continue to gossip about what is good and what is bad, that power, that we achieved this genocide by the hands of the West at the expense of the president , we did not think and no one thought, and do not want to think only lives are wasted when there is no logic of war and everyone is to blame. Let's change everything and stop touching Russia and become a genocide, it helped in the plan of natural resources ❤❤❤❤❤

[@peterclose1530]

I caught a Metery at Copeton 2 years ago. 4am was freezing

[@DyslexicDragon1]

WOW....what a behemoth of a fish....well deserved and great footage. 👏

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Much appreciated mate!!

[@user-nx8vp5sy5d]

It’s a small cod, they get a lot larger then these small fish@@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917

What a Nice Fish, What Leader knot do you use?

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Thanks mate! I love to use an FG knot for my leaders

[@ItsJustEhli]

Thanks Mate 🤙

[@darrylmackie9184]

Copeton Dam! is that anywhere near this place.

[@stevecrop6264]

That’s a fish 💪🏻 That Timelapse casting sequence was very cool 👌🏼

[@seanharwood974]

Fish of a lifetime . Do you think it’s a PB ?

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

They don’t come around that size often that’s for sure. I’ve been lucky enough to catch quite a few bigger than that but always appreciate them at any size

[@GaryAnderson87]

I’m from America so I’m not familiar with cod, what would be the estimated weight range for that beauty?

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Many thanks for watching the channel! I’d say 80-90lb at a guess

[@stevenvanstone8668]

What ya reckon that one measured? 😂

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

😅😂 surely would’ve been over 90?

[@DougKelly2828]

Unicorn 🦄

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Absolutely!

[@crestcutter2729]

Surely it had to be over 130cm either way it was a proper slob

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Not sure mate but it was a proper whopper for sure!

[@RileyMcPhie]

How big you reckon

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Definitely whopper status 😅

[@shadowjohn2266]

out of 9 metre plus cod i have caught at copeton dam 8 of them were caught between 12pm and 2 pm the other 1 was caught just on sun set

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

That’s awesome! They’re a funny fish and can always test you as to when the bite may happen

[@peterb8468]

I like that you don’t need to measure fish. Cod are awesome at any size and a few cm’s here and there once they’re large makes no difference to the satisfaction. Unless you have to brag about being a few cms longer than someone else.

[@bestpix100]

Not watching live target fishing any more, could just watch a fishing game on the xbox

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Plenty of blind cast videos on the channel mate!

[@bestpix100]

@@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917 yes I do enjoy those, but almost everyone of the channels I am subscribed to Hawksey, Silvestre, Colby are all using Livescope to pluck big Cod. Just not as entertaining

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Totally understand mate, I’m looking forward to the rivers settling out again and those big topwater bites 👌

[@kieranoloughlin4571]

Don’t go down the live scope road like everyone else , it’s such bullshit and taking all the fun out it ,

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

I think active target definitely has its place and when used respectfully it’s a great tool for fishing but I totally understand your comments 🤙 I’d always rather see a big one smash a topwater but unfortunately sometimes that’s just not possible

[@tyedmondsfishingadventures9160]

Your pole is to low man

[@user-nx8vp5sy5d]

Can people stop calling less then mid sized cod giants, they are not large cod

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Less than mid size? 🤣

[@wesjones1797]

Can you please describe your definition of a large cod? This interests me?

[@codders8272]

Disappointed to see this channel devolve to video game fishing

[@maccathirtythree]

I just went looking for all the metre-plus Cod on your channel mate...wasn't disappointed...

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Each to their own mate, it’s not something I do a lot of but have enjoyed the learning experience of a new technique.

[@jeremy3736]

Forward facing sonar is devaluing our native sportsfish. Unsubscribed.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Bad fish handling is more of a problem mate. I’m sorry you had to unsubscribe

[@jeremy3736]

100% agree. Unfortunately scoping exposes them to poor handling at a significantly increased rate. Capture rates of unicorns are up, fish have less time to recover. Trophy pics for instagram are being elevated above the process itself. Not every scoper will handle the fish as well as you do mate.

[@thefullscale-fishingadvent2917]

Thanks mate, I hope that by some anglers watching my videos they’ll take a few of the processes on board and treat the big fish with the respect they deserve
