Hey, Mate! A fish of a lifetime! That should be every fisherman's motto. IT takes the right equipment to catch a fish of a lifetime. Failure is not a option Dean! Great video! Shawn from the States.
Mate congratulations!! Far out that was insane! "That's you and me in the net" 🥰 love it . Couple of bloke having a good time 👍🏻. That thing was a hippopotamus indeed. And man that combo is mouth watering, I bet you'll cherish it for life. Cheers for the amazing video mate. Loved every minute of it as always 👍🏻🎣
Legend! Thanks for the comment and appreciate you tuning in. Yep the combo is already in the house in my office awaiting its next adventure 😂 some fat fish in that lake, very cool to experience such fish
Hi Dean, awesome fishing by u & your mate. I’m a believer of buying the best gear u can afford to get the job done & u proved that with the huge cod caught. Gr8 viewing & cheers
Congratulations. I think you need to organise another trip to eildon asap to get more use outofthenew combo. Great video looking forward to watching more!
@@DeanSilvester I have an old Calcutta 200b that I need to get serviced and put back in my quiver…then I think I’ll have the same conversation with my mates😂
Great fishing vid mate, looks like a very memorable Murray Cod trip indeed! Do you know what the fluorescent cover on the transducer pole handle is made from or if this can be purchased from somewhere?
Good day dean brother I love watching your shows keep up the good work congratulations on your dream achievement catching a monster murray cod i wanted to know G-loomis IMX pro how long is the rod and what is the model of your rod that you are using with that set up on this video because I have the same rod 7- ft 6 1/2 - 3 oz 12- 25 lb mod fast action is my rod light for big monster trophies or can it handle it ? Thank you please let Me know
Hey mate, i run the 904 and the 964. In this video i am pretty sure i was running the 964, especially for those giant fish. The rod needs to be able to cast whatever baits you want to throw on it, not worry about the poundage of the line
Agreed mate but it was tough to do in the dark and a lot of fish that didn't have any interest, no excuse though. This weeks vid has almost all the hits on film
Do you mean probably the best video, are you watching big cod videos and hoping for poor camera work? Credit to Dean he’s putting out the best local fishing content right now!
This is by far my most memorable Murray Cod trip ever. I hope you can see the enjoyment that i felt. Thanks for tuning in.
so sick to see 2 big cod on the boat at the same time, it just shows how good cod in dams can be.
Insane mate and yep dams can be red hot when they want to be, but we did spend a lot of time trying to find fish in a location to get that opportunity

Absolutely, and feels amazingly satisfying to tick that box when everything goes just right
Mate congratulations!! Far out that was insane! "That's you and me in the net" 🥰 love it . Couple of bloke having a good time 👍🏻. That thing was a hippopotamus indeed.

@@DeanSilvester I bet that rod has a spot on the top shelf. Hey nice article in hooked up magazine too mate, very cool 👍🏻
haha thanks legend. Yep love it. I used it again and caught another PB on it. So good
@@DeanSilvester yeow it's a good day when you get a PB!! 👍🏻
finally a video with G-Fab always see photos never in action awesome work guys 🎣👌
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks legend. Will put him in front of the camera more often
You must be knackered by the end, Deano, those swimbaits are huge. The rewards are worth it though...
Casting them is fine with the right tackle, but yes we were wrecked from lack of sleep and fishing in less than ideal circumstances
Good to see you Kicking goals Dean, that’s a hefty capture
Cheers legend, was a couple of beasts for sure
Hi Dean, awesome fishing by u & your mate. I’m a believer of buying the best gear u can afford to get the job done & u proved that with the huge cod caught. Gr8 viewing & cheers
Absolutely, thanks for tuning in mate. Fish of a lifetime on the tackle of a lifetime. #happydays
Congratulations. I think you need to organise another trip to eildon asap to get more use outofthenew combo. Great video looking forward to watching more!

That’s your best vid yet mate. Editing and footage stepped up in this episode, not to mention the new combo and hippopotamus 🦛 🔥🔥 congrats mate
Much appreciated! Yep took a lot of time to get this one right, always trying to do better in every way. Things just worked out for us on this trip
Wow awesome vid... congratulations!!
would love to know what net can hold 2 mtr+ of cod WOW again...
Good question! Have to get Chris to answer that one. Its a prototype net, makes all your fish look small
epic!!! that calcutta/g-loomis combo is so sweet...im jelous AF😎
hahaha im hearing ya! So happy i made the effort to get it. The joke on the boat was you scratch my calcutta ill scratch your face 😂
@@DeanSilvester I have an old Calcutta 200b that I need to get serviced and put back in my quiver…then I think I’ll have the same conversation with my mates😂
haha so good mate! Makes for light humour
Congratulations on the fish and some more great footage.Great that you share your equipment.
Thanks legend and no worries, always try to share something with a bit of technical or educational content mixed in
Cracking fish mate! That hippo would have been bigger then Chris on the scale 😅
😂😂😂 maybe back in the day. chris loves a feed now 😂 they are definitely well built in that place
Sickest cod session on utube farout cod legend
Thanks legend, much appreciated. Fun and lucky session
Congrats, mate, on the new gear and giant cod. Didn't you break your foot last time you went there? Congrats again, Dean
haha yep last time i was in vic maybe, or may have been the year before.
Hi Dean. great video and great fish thanks for sharing. how do you go getting around at 4am in the dark?
Its pretty hectic mate but we have a spotlight on the front of the boat and charts on the sounder to navigate
Pretty hectic is putting it mildly, long time Eildon fisho but struggle in the dark. Cod are going to be amazing in another 10 years
Hi mate great vid!! What lb fluorocarbon main line you running on the Calcutta?
Thanks legend, i was running 30lb with a 60lb bite leader.
Great fishing vid mate, looks like a very memorable Murray Cod trip indeed! Do you know what the fluorescent cover on the transducer pole handle is made from or if this can be purchased from somewhere?
Hey mate yes it can, message or contact GFab Marine Engineering mate, he sells them cheap as chips
been looking forward to this one
Thanks for tuning in legend
They’re some wicked fish. Congratulations 🍺🍺
Yes they are, one amazing lake thats for sure
Hey mate what size/weight/type of jig head you using on that bait?
3/4 oz mostly mate or 1/2 oz on the smaller ones
Thanks legend! 🤙🏼
No worries mate
300 or 400 reel ? might get one for big cods and swimbaits
Im running the 400 Calcutta mate, its only a tiny bit heavier than the 300 but bigger line capacity
@@DeanSilvester yeah noticed in the specs going to get the 400 cheers mate

Cracking fish man.

Sorry for the late reply mate, haven't been home. the rod is the 965C Swimbait rod
So beautiful there!
It really is! When its not raining
Did you really buy a $1000 reel or get it as a freebie

You beaut things🇦🇺👊🏻👍
Cheers legend
Happy for ya's.but try doin without live sounder.
Noted
Try getting a life
cheers mate
B alot better if u got the hits on film
Agreed mate but it was tough to do in the dark and a lot of fish that didn't have any interest, no excuse though. This weeks vid has almost all the hits on film
Most cringe big cod video I have watched. Too busy worrying about camera angles to make the fish look bigger than enjoying the moment
We enjoyed every moment of it mate and made sure we had the footage to be able to enjoy it in the future
