Murray Cod Fishing in a Crystal Clear River

Frank and I had a very early start on one of our favourite rivers for clear water Murray Cod. We were straight in to the action and scored fish on surface, hardbodies and spinnerbaits.
Lures used:
- 120mm Koolabung Cod Cracker
- D-style Reserve Hatch
- Kingfisher Mantis
- 90mm AC Invader
- 75mm Oar-gee Plow
- 1oz Gangster Spinnerbait

Cheers for all the guesses guys! As I mentioned in the video, we never measured Franks fish. His old PB was 75cm. We estimated this one to be in the high 70’s and I reckon he definitely bumped it up a little. At a guess I would put the fish at around 77-78cm which is a decent one for this small system.

One of the best fishing videos I've seen. The gorgeous water, the fishing - surface and subsurface - including the accurate casting, and the way you look after the fish, just gold mate. Thanks for sharing! Steve

Thanks for sharing. Up there with my favourite style of fishing. Thinking high 70's for Franks fish which was in mint condition

[@user-pe2mx9jg8p]

Y’all have some weird and amazing critters over there

[@joshreadfishing]

Haha spot on mate, these guys are a very cool fish!

[@Michael_Lane_Fishing]

Nice vid Josh, my guess is that fish of the day was nudging 80. They get that extra bit of girth near that mark.
