[@nathansoutbackfishing]

Awesome job lesko my biggest cod is 73 cm

[@TheWaterSwatters]

I love catching fish big or small, can ya eat these things?

[@rwilko9525]

Common practice for most cod fishermen to release them, these big ones are breeders and we need them in a waterways. Smaller cod in the 55cm to 75cm range are kept for a feed by some.

[@jimmytaylor1905]

[@waydephillips]

[@Andysfishing]

Love me some Cod fishing, it’s been way to long. I always say, enjoy the journey or in fishing, the casting.

[@kevdimo6459]

Absolutely fantastic fishing Kolbie. I didn’t think those fish still existed well done on releasing them too.

[@kevdimo6459]

Sorry Colby for getting your name wrong. 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@dantemadden1533]

Murray cod are 100% still around

[@kevdimo6459]

@@dantemadden1533 yes i knew they were but that size is amazing! They were like that all over in the olden days way before catch and release became so popular.

[@teamsniper5030]

Sooooooo good Colby! Legendary status, yet again 🙌

[@bfstackledirect]

Cod fishing seems similar to North American Muskie fishing. Right down to the high effort/low numbers, and their tendency to follow baits to the boat. We never take our bait from the water unless we do a "figure 8" or "L-sweep" with the bait next to the boat. Sometimes for minutes to trigger a follower.

[@sciclunafishing9811]

Awesome fish man it ia so thrilling to watch those hugh murray cod smash the top waters also i am 12 turning 13 in a month and live in victoria I am more into bream fish and smaller fish like that but would love to catch a murray cod one day and i was also getting one to keep in my fish tank after sadly my silver perch Bob passed away and i would like to know if you got any tips to keeping one anyway keep up the amazing work.👍🎣🤙

[@timmyturtlefish3321]

Excellent vid mate!!

[@FlyFishingChronicles]

The bite is pretty cool but they "fight" like a big blob.

[@joachimszm]

this looks absoloutly incredible. how much does a fish like that weigh? a 120 cm northern pike would be like 15 kg, but this is just nuts. cheers from denmark

[@thefreshsalt]

Yippaa mate nothing like a big girl 👌

[@stephenblaney593]

AWESOME 👍👍

[@trentkrikken9873]

Awsome stuff🤙🤙

[@gsyoon3]

this is somewhat like fishing for bass in the states....except the murray cod looks to be the size of a small tuna and appears to hit every bit as hard.

[@dantemadden1533]

The biggest murray cod on record was 1.8 metres long and well over 100kg, I’m pretty sure they’re descended from Groupers

[@brendanspinks7080]

Good video mate!!

[@joelbramble]

Awesome mate!!

[@domrt6846]

this fish absolutely does not defend itself there is no point in fishing it, moreover it is not a very beautiful fish, it is weird.
