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.
