Yeah. From the canals. Fat as mud. 9.62lb. The fishing has been pretty hard. I landed a few but not many big fish and salmon were hard to come by.

A fat little brown from the Manawatu River tonight.

Does the lure get your endorsement @Dundee ?
Went for a fish up the Pohangina hooked 2 landed 0, maybe next time.
Landed one tonight, a very good evening rise on the Manawatu, too bad I was using a spinner.
And some bad news. Check fish samples. But then milk samples are an eye opener. Baby bait.

A turn up for the books in a very small tidal Catlins creek, one proud dad and an extremely chuffed 6 year old :)

That's a cracker mate well done
Cooling off here in Northern Canada, had a few hours on the House river northern Alberta, fly fishing for Artic grayling, I caught about 8, most were very small, 4" or so, couple about a 1/2-3/4 lb, 10-12", Nice Fall day, loving the new 4wt, Scott fly rod, hopefully new time I catch one worthy of a photo.

Ha ha That is a worry,he’s a good lad calling it teamwork but all I did was tighten the drag so he could stop it and perform landing duty when got it to me, it’s about 3lb bigger than my pb 😬
Cracker looks fat , bet its been feasting on bait .
Was in great nick, very surprised when it’s gut was completely empty, it did take a whitebait looking softbait ,we let a lot go but the boy wanted to take this one home to show off and fair enough, it’s fed 4 adults and 4 boys tonight, real good and plenty left.
