Giant Murray Cod Lures for Giant freshwater fish

We used the biggest Murray cod lures to try to catch the biggest Murray cod Lake Eildon has to offer. These are the heaviest freshwater giant fish i have ever weighed.
These are the biggest fish you will encounter on a swimbait, Murray cod lures get more exciting the bigger they are.

This channel is about fishing swimbaits for big Murray cod in places like Copeton Dam through to Barramundi in impoundments like Lake Awoonga. In addition, my channel teaches tips and techniques to help you catch more fish. Mixed in will be some bass fishing techniques and tips for trout fishing. From my years of bass tournament fishing, I have learned to pay attention to detail, and the small things make a difference in catching a couple of fish or a lot of fish.

This is by far my most memorable Murray Cod trip ever. I hope you can see the enjoyment that i felt. Thanks for tuning in.

[@chriswebster9646]

Cracking fish man. Was that the IMX-PRO 966C SWBR?

[@DeanSilvester]

Sorry for the late reply mate, haven't been home. the rod is the 965C Swimbait rod

[@waikarimoana]

Awesome video mate and great footage, thanks team and thumbs up,, Tony.

[@DeanSilvester]

Glad you enjoyed it mate and thanks for tuning in from NZ, i hope the trout fishing has improved

[@shawnbeck2303]

Hey, Mate! A fish of a lifetime! That should be every fisherman's motto. IT takes the right equipment to catch a fish of a lifetime. Failure is not a option Dean! Great video! Shawn from the States.

[@DeanSilvester]

Absolutely, and feels amazingly satisfying to tick that box when everything goes just right

[@Avv45]

Hi mate great vid!! What lb fluorocarbon main line you running on the Calcutta?

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks legend, i was running 30lb with a 60lb bite leader.

[@joshforrester3370]

Sickest cod session on utube farout cod legend

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks legend, much appreciated. Fun and lucky session

[@neilbayliss3358]

Hi Dean. great video and great fish thanks for sharing. how do you go getting around at 4am in the dark?

[@DeanSilvester]

Its pretty hectic mate but we have a spotlight on the front of the boat and charts on the sounder to navigate

[@neilbayliss3358]

Pretty hectic is putting it mildly, long time Eildon fisho but struggle in the dark. Cod are going to be amazing in another 10 years

[@declanchadfield1579]

so sick to see 2 big cod on the boat at the same time, it just shows how good cod in dams can be.

[@DeanSilvester]

Insane mate and yep dams can be red hot when they want to be, but we did spend a lot of time trying to find fish in a location to get that opportunity

[@StevoVasiljkovic]

Good day dean brother I love watching your shows keep up the good work congratulations on your dream achievement catching a monster murray cod i wanted to know G-loomis IMX pro how long is the rod and what is the model of your rod that you are using with that set up on this video because I have the same rod 7- ft 6 1/2 - 3 oz 12- 25 lb mod fast action is my rod light for big monster trophies or can it handle it ? Thank you please let Me know

[@DeanSilvester]

Hey mate, i run the 904 and the 964. In this video i am pretty sure i was running the 964, especially for those giant fish. The rod needs to be able to cast whatever baits you want to throw on it, not worry about the poundage of the line

[@matt241287]

Awesome vid , Chris sure knows how to find them

[@DeanSilvester]

Puts in the hours thats for sure

[@deaksefishingadventures7365]

finally a video with G-Fab always see photos never in action awesome work guys 🎣👌

[@DeanSilvester]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks legend. Will put him in front of the camera more often

[@DeanSilvester]

[@kmac.jimmy123]

@@DeanSilvester I have an old Calcutta 200b that I need to get serviced and put back in my quiver…then I think I’ll have the same conversation with my mates😂

[@DeanSilvester]

[@davegardiner6271]

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks a ton!

[@downunderfulla6001]

They’re some wicked fish. Congratulations 🍺🍺

[@DeanSilvester]

Yes they are, one amazing lake thats for sure

[@peterkhansen]

You must be knackered by the end, Deano, those swimbaits are huge. The rewards are worth it though...

[@DeanSilvester]

Casting them is fine with the right tackle, but yes we were wrecked from lack of sleep and fishing in less than ideal circumstances

[@GORMO104]

been looking forward to this one

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks for tuning in legend

[@tonyloomes5578]

Congratulations. I think you need to organise another trip to eildon asap to get more use outofthenew combo. Great video looking forward to watching more!

[@DeanSilvester]

Working on it! Just need to save some money again first 😂

[@yakoobjunior9631]

Mates, great to see the Murray Cod has made a huge come back 👍🏼👍🏼🎣

[@DeanSilvester]

Absolutely, incredible species to target and thriving in a lot of our dams now

[@colinspratt9580]

Hi Dean, awesome fishing by u & your mate. I’m a believer of buying the best gear u can afford to get the job done & u proved that with the huge cod caught. Gr8 viewing & cheers

[@DeanSilvester]

Absolutely, thanks for tuning in mate. Fish of a lifetime on the tackle of a lifetime. #happydays

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

Mate congratulations!! Far out that was insane! "That's you and me in the net" 🥰 love it . Couple of bloke having a good time 👍🏻. That thing was a hippopotamus indeed. And man that combo is mouth watering, I bet you'll cherish it for life. Cheers for the amazing video mate. Loved every minute of it as always 👍🏻🎣

[@DeanSilvester]

Legend! Thanks for the comment and appreciate you tuning in. Yep the combo is already in the house in my office awaiting its next adventure 😂 some fat fish in that lake, very cool to experience such fish

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@DeanSilvester I bet that rod has a spot on the top shelf. Hey nice article in hooked up magazine too mate, very cool 👍🏻

[@DeanSilvester]

haha thanks legend. Yep love it. I used it again and caught another PB on it. So good

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

@@DeanSilvester yeow it's a good day when you get a PB!! 👍🏻

[@jesusblessthesecommentsamen]

300 or 400 reel ? might get one for big cods and swimbaits

[@DeanSilvester]

Im running the 400 Calcutta mate, its only a tiny bit heavier than the 300 but bigger line capacity

[@jesusblessthesecommentsamen]

@@DeanSilvester yeah noticed in the specs going to get the 400 cheers mate

[@Julzbennic]

Cracking fish mate! That hippo would have been bigger then Chris on the scale 😅

[@DeanSilvester]

😂😂😂 maybe back in the day. chris loves a feed now 😂 they are definitely well built in that place

[@rowleyuic]

Hey mate what size/weight/type of jig head you using on that bait?

[@DeanSilvester]

3/4 oz mostly mate or 1/2 oz on the smaller ones

[@rowleyuic]

Thanks legend! 🤙🏼

[@DeanSilvester]

No worries mate

[@NigelMoore-jq7ml]

Wow awesome vid... congratulations!! would love to know what net can hold 2 mtr+ of cod WOW again...

[@DeanSilvester]

Good question! Have to get Chris to answer that one. Its a prototype net, makes all your fish look small

[@mrsbradpittiful]

Did you really buy a $1000 reel or get it as a freebie

[@DeanSilvester]

I really bought it mate and the rod 😎🫡

[@neilwedlick9851]

Congratulations on the fish and some more great footage.Great that you share your equipment.

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks legend and no worries, always try to share something with a bit of technical or educational content mixed in

[@daveclarke7190]

Great fishing vid mate, looks like a very memorable Murray Cod trip indeed! Do you know what the fluorescent cover on the transducer pole handle is made from or if this can be purchased from somewhere?

[@DeanSilvester]

Hey mate yes it can, message or contact GFab Marine Engineering mate, he sells them cheap as chips

[@alexgeorgievski3552]

You beaut things🇦🇺👊🏻👍

[@DeanSilvester]

Cheers legend

[@benrendina9151]

B alot better if u got the hits on film

[@DeanSilvester]

Agreed mate but it was tough to do in the dark and a lot of fish that didn't have any interest, no excuse though. This weeks vid has almost all the hits on film

[@tonypaine4958]

Congrats, mate, on the new gear and giant cod. Didn't you break your foot last time you went there? Congrats again, Dean

[@DeanSilvester]

haha yep last time i was in vic maybe, or may have been the year before.

[@scootsmorgan92]

Happy for ya's.but try doin without live sounder.

[@DeanSilvester]

Noted

[@asmithgolf1]

Try getting a life

[@DeanSilvester]

cheers mate

[@ink4b]

Most cringe big cod video I have watched. Too busy worrying about camera angles to make the fish look bigger than enjoying the moment

[@DeanSilvester]

We enjoyed every moment of it mate and made sure we had the footage to be able to enjoy it in the future

[@asmithgolf1]

Do you mean probably the best video, are you watching big cod videos and hoping for poor camera work? Credit to Dean he’s putting out the best local fishing content right now!

[@DeanSilvester]

Thanks legend, much appreciated

[@Castathon]

That’s your best vid yet mate. Editing and footage stepped up in this episode, not to mention the new combo and hippopotamus 🦛 🔥🔥 congrats mate

[@DeanSilvester]

Much appreciated! Yep took a lot of time to get this one right, always trying to do better in every way. Things just worked out for us on this trip
