not a bass.. but
i don't fish for bass down here as it is too far to travel.
so i figured as i come across pics i will post to give you an idea of what we catch around SE Queensland. this is one of the species i chase 'Snapper' this is not mine, this young fella 'Troy' is pretty proficient at catching these . this one weighed in at 18.3 lbs & was caught using 6lb fierline & a 12lb leader on a 5" super zoom fluke . this is a very good fish for Moreton Bay. they tend to live in reef areas sthat makes this an even better effort on light gear. i am yet to get one even close to this size, [img] http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-3/966156/snap1.jpg [/img] |

Re: not a bass.. but
yep, saltwater.
thought you may have something similar, with a diff name over there? they supposedly get the bump from banging their head while feeding on the reef. the bigger they get the more pronounced |

Re: not a bass.. but
WE've gto plenty of snapper here in fl, and something that looks quite a bit like it called a redfish. Our snapper typically live a bit further offshore while redfish are in intercoastal waterways.

Re: not a bass.. but
Very nice fish, and I already like you Seems like most folks would've taken credit for it, but you humbly admitted you haven't caught anything close to it YET. What a idea, and honest fisherman
