I ate my real big one's. :D

Might have to see about another trip to the farm, the lake had some rippers over Christmas, where I proceeded to eat a couple buckets worth.... :drunken:

Mind you, could still be a couple of good size ones in FT, will have to have a look.


Cheers

I cleaned a farm dam out a few years ago and stocked it with marron. The marron didn't like it so they escaped and died, so I re-stocked it with yabbies, prolly about 75mm long. By the following summer these were the size we were fishing out, quite amazed us. 7 each were a feed!

Ah...now make the rules.

How long do they have to be in the system for?? Catch them from the dam, put them into the AP, then a week later photograph and eat!!

no, it has been a long established rule on this forum that small children, daschunds and beer cans are standards of measurement. And, all photos must include gratuitous toes. :brilsmurf:
