MONSTER FLATHEAD! EPIC BATTLE ON LIGHT TACKLE!!

Flathead fishing: Hooked a BIG flathead on light tackle, lucky to land this one, nearly straightened the hook.
A picture perfect winters day on the water, no wind, hungry fish and full moon big tides. A big thanks to Will from Down South Tackle for giving me some of his hand made soft plastics to try out. They don't have a website up yet, but you can DM him on Instagram @Down_South_Tackle.

Awesome croc!

[@LoveYakken]

They are a cool looking fish at that size, thanks for watching mate

[@mantaray937]

Beautiful croc you handled it really well and was patient (I could never), really deserved well done.

[@LoveYakken]

Thanks mate, its hard to stay patient sometimes but have learnt the hard way a few times losing bigger fish rushing it on light gear desperate to land them.

awesome fish mate, congratulations. also great to see home grown Aussie lures working so well. could feel tension in your voice all the way to the end. how majestic when they swim away after such a long fight.

[@LoveYakken]

Thanks Michael, you are right about "majestic" watching them swim off strong. I was really cautious to get her back in the water as quick as I could. I couldn't get a good camera angle without the sun behind me when holding her up but thought getting her back in the water fast was more important than a good pic. Thanks for watching.

now that was well worth enduring the 4C temp bro thats what you call a real croc bro congrats on the fish & yet another awesome vid.

[@LoveYakken]

Cheers mate, yeah it was a chilly morning to be in shorts and have wet feet lol.

[@beyondbushfishing]

Been waiting for this for ages 🎉

[@LoveYakken]

Thanks for hanging in there, sorry for the wait. I have been a bit slack filming lately, been leaving the cam at home and just enjoying fishing without having to think about keeping lens clean, changing battery's etc. just enjoying the day fishing.

[@beyondbushfishing]

@@LoveYakken Awesome video, hahaha we know how you feel we do it all the time too. We always appreciate when you upload legend 👍

[@justinlambert4937]

Wow!!!

[@LoveYakken]

@@justinlambert4937 yeah, got a bit of a shock when I first saw it, had to edit out the words I said lol

[@justinlambert4937]

⁠@@LoveYakkenhaha, I bet!

[@Austin.harper]

I was waiting for this video since you first posted it. Pretty sure I know where it is but as always. Gonna keep it a secret

[@LoveYakken]

Cheers Austin, hope you've been hooking into a few.

[@Schl0mO]

Hey mate where abouts is this? Up in coffs harbour for a bit before heading up to gold coast looking for a good place to chuck in a couple rods

[@LoveYakken]

It's just south of Coffs, all the rivers/creeks around here have plenty of flathead in them, just have to be lucky to be in the right spot right time. Good luck 👍

[@chriscorrigan7420]

What a ball biter. I'd buy a lotto ticket mate. Well done.

[@LoveYakken]

Sometimes you just get lucky🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍
