Tewantin Fish Board hauling up the 150lb. Cod
thought to be the largest ever caught in the Noosa
River. Tim caught this whopper on a 36 lb. breaking strain line with a piece of Bony Bream for bait. Tim is highly delighted with his catch and he broke his gaff while landing it into the boat and had to use his anchor instead. After the 17 lb. of gut had been removed, the remaining 133 lb. of steaks' were quickly snapped up. Photo by Griffiths Studios.
