THE MYSTICAL LUNGFISH!

Another shore based session chasing Aussie Bass turns into something more interesting when we encounter the prehistoric Australian Lungfish. These fish are on the endangered list so much care was taken to ensure they were put back safely and healthily...

First blood is drawn with an invasive species. The humble Tilapia is now found all over the globe. They can be highly aggressive especially near spawn time and wouldn't pass up a little morsel like this Jackall Chubby Vibe...

With the ultralight Major Craft MS-X Limited spin rod meant for Bass, we hook up on a way bigger fish and the fight takes quite some time...

And this creature turns up at our feet with the Jackall TN50 in its mouth...

Its the mystical Australian Lungfish. What a sight!

Few casts in and the Jackall TN50 is snatched again, but again it is no Bass...

We had never expected the Lungfish to be predatory lure munchers, but were proven wrong. Instead of Bass we got an encounter with these brilliant fish so it was an awesome session none the less...
