    It was like lifting a brick off the bottom after the first strong run and a few acrobatics he just sat on the bottom and it took a lot of pressure to lift him free.
    Then a nice slow steady drift with a hell of a lot of pressure on him to gently steer into the net of a waiting mate / photographer.Attachment 48866
    That's a bloody big jack there

    I could also sit at home sip cups of tea and watch coro st.
    But I prefer taking a few beers wandering the river each evening catching these and being an arsehole.

    2 fish limit up that stretch, and around the confluence of the Mangaone there are a lot of juveniles (spawning area). Upstream of there is closed 30 June. It would be better to go either up or down from there if you want to catch anything bigger. There are a lot of good fish in the rivers at present, fat and getting ready to spawn.

    Come to New Zealand sometime and I will introduce you Waikato Draught, to the greatest beer in the world.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I would think that if Austria uses the same Reinheitsgebot laws as the Germans then neither of these two beers would be allowed due to the high levels of horse piss in them.

    Anything is better than Waikato even a tui that's been shut in the car on a summers day.

    The main river basically wondered from the Mangaone convalescence down to puketapu. ...some real great runs on way
