Thank you. Mr.Dawson

This was my first time in Western Australia and first time catching Samson fish.As a group of 7 anglers we jigged 2 days in 95-115 metre depth of water  for over 50+ samson fish ranging in size from 19 kilo to 45kilo plus.It was very hard in weather conditions to weight such monster fish whilst tagging and release quickly to ensure the health and survival rate of fish released.The bigger ones we could stop (alot we couldn't) we couldn't get photos of but the longest FORK LENGTH was 1420mm and the smallest 950mm.For 5 of the anglers it was their first time jigging and l bet not their last.They are all hooked!!As you probably know nearly ALL my jigging gear is from PLAT except for my rod/reel.
Thank you again as 7 anglers had a jigging trip they will remember forever ALL catching a samson over 30 kilos.
