Wow that's awesome Willie. I have the weight but the fly/location is a secret - guess every angler is entitled to some secrets :hnthnt:

Post by: Chigger on October 29, 2013, 01:30:56 PM: Ill say 3,8kg, beautiful Brown
Title: Re: Look what Underberg can produce ...
Post by: victorius on October 29, 2013, 03:54:19 PM: most probably 5.7 Kg
Title: Re: Look what Underberg can produce ...
Post by: David Taylor on October 29, 2013, 06:42:25 PM: 5,4Kg would be my guess. Wow that coming out of a South African dam is amazing. Serious achievement. I take my cap off to that angler.
Title: Re: Look what Underberg can produce ...
Post by: Debbie on October 30, 2013, 10:01:43 AM: (clap) (clap) beautiful fish

Im going to hazard a guess of 4.1kg
Title: Re: Look what Underberg can produce ...
Post by: Wynand13 on October 30, 2013, 10:58:00 AM: I would say 11 Pounds Photos can be very misleading, as the hands are big the fish is close to the lens that makes references a bit difficult, as every pic these days are taken this way we should be use to it by now... 68cm?

Post by: Herman Jooste on October 30, 2013, 08:34:20 PM: Thanks for posting that Krissi. (clap)

That is a monster of a fish, :shk irrespective of how the pic was taken.

After careful consideration my weight estimate is 6.5 kg or 14lbs 4 ounces. w;k
