The "big" Christmas fish!!!

I have just received some photos from my cousin Nalda (she lived behind us down in Batemans Bay) to show off her husband (Ross) , son (Matt), and son-in-law (Rod)'s great catches last weekend. Nal, her daughter Tanya, and daughter-in-law Belinda, had organised this trip for their 3 blokes as a Christmas present last year, but for one reason or other they only got to do it last week - and with great success. They boarded the craft at the Batemans Bay Bridge and mozied on up the Clyde River - famous for its Oysters, but I had no idea it housed these huge creatures as well. Of course Ross was the first to land a monster 12 kg Jewish (sometimes called Mulloway) number - within the first hour, and I think he and son Matt are holding this below.

Then of course came No. 2, not sure who caught it, but it was a whopping 14kg poisson!!

Four good sized flathead were also landed, before this very merry bunch returned home to show off their score to their thoughtful maidens and the 2 grand daughter's, Katie and Molly. I believe the freezers are full of their catch, and I know the Christmas (late or early) cheer would've been flowing well into the night to celebrate.
