It's an amazing capture. I wish they would take a normal photo though without the camera angles to make it look 100kg
If it swims; I want to catch it!

It would be nice to see what it really looks like without tricky photography. It's still an awesome catch but let's see the real pic.

Get over it guys. Yes, it's ultra wide - just appreciate it for what it is.

Happy to delete the photo and just leave the detail if you would prefer

Nice answer Luke! Is it so wrong to want to see a pic that ain't tricked up?

BTW, a 65kg fish is always appreciated but a few would like to see the true picture. As I said, is that so wrong that you have to be so flippant in your reply?

It's the same old drum beat Bill - they have been doing this style for a long time and are not going to change it for anyone. We hear enough of it - and it becomes ridiculously repeatitive.

Let it go - they aren't going to change for you..

Just wanted to ask about the rod they used to pull in that monster... By TBC, do you mean "to be continued?" or is that the initials of the rod? Like TBL...the blue lagoon
