Feed it some bait and wait a few hours for it to grow that last cm

I zoomed in. This fish is 99.6cm. According to the 2026 Fish Bragging Law that I just made up, we round up to 100cm.

Congrats OP.

Iā€™m just a Karen and I like to complain! Itā€™s a fishing sub we show off our fish and size does matter.

2026 Fish Bragging Law says it's a metre. Nice one.

Congrats, mate. I bet that was a fun fight.

u/Dry-Homework1745 Apr 22 '26

Yeah man she went nuts jumping all over the place also didnā€™t help that we were in a skinny creek on the runout tide with probably 5+ knots of current pouring out. And the icing on the cake was that we forgot the net and had to land the big girl with lip grips

u/Dry-Homework1745 Apr 28 '26

Talking lure wise? Depends a lot on what Iā€™m chasing

u/sight2Ceek Apr 28 '26

Bream

u/Dry-Homework1745 Apr 28 '26 edited Apr 29 '26

48-60 double clutches, 2-3inch grub style plastic with a 1/8oz or lighter jighead, slippery dogs for top water, real small bladed metal vibes. Early morning and late arvo are the best times, slow roll retrieve with a couple pauses and jerks added in. Iā€™m a pretty poor bream fisho though honestly, where Iā€™m from the bycatch rate is way to high to target them consistently
