I've worked at the old Allen's factory, was on the banks of Yarra River, behind the museum, a huge turning barrel were the liquid poured in and one big revolution and multi coloured snakes 🐍 were constantly dropping into hoppers by the 1000s ❤😂 😅
I've lure fished 🐟 for decades, Whitsundays, Port Douglas, Darwin, fish are attracted to noise of rattle lures, and visual colours and chrome flash, surface poppers the water splash 😀 a nice red snake 🐍 looking like 👍 large worm 🪱!! HE'S ON !! ❤ 😂 😅 😊
Caught a 109 cm Flathead and at only recently found out that's an awesome fish. Once hooked It actually swam towards me then gave up,felt like i was dragging a plastic bag through the water. I let her go to breed and make more Flatty's. Great battle , Great content man.
@@The-anti-Pick-fish was fishing at 3:30 am just off Pulbah island ,Lake Macquarie . I put a large banana prawn on the hook and laid down in the half cabin for awhile. Saw rod move slightly when i went to check line she swam to the boat.
Well that flatly got a sugar rush. I lived on the south coast and caught some good ones and my experience is you need a bit of drag to set the hook and then back off especially with light rods. Awesome video though. Would have been good to land it but that's what makes us even more keen for next time hey?
How awesome mate on a snake lolly, shame it didn't stick for you to get it in but what a fight never mind it will happen for you. I think you have found the next best thing in lures 😉 guys will be using snake lollies in the flatty classic 😁👍
I was like 100% sure that it will be a stingray but then again, it is much more likely for flathead to take a lollie. I don´t know what kind of line and leader you use but in my opinion, you actually would have a better chance to land those big fish if you kept your drag as tight as you possibly dare. Works for me at least. Anyway. Loving Aussie fishing so I will be following your channel. Dreaming about getting there once again.
A couple of years ago I saw the biggest flattie I had ever seen, sitting on the sand just off the side of the jetty. She must have been close to 900, I leant on the rail and watched her for a while as dozens of people walked past. Of course I kept quiet in case somebody decided to eat the big breeder.
Hi mate. Great video. You did nothing wrong. Slowly walking him backwards was the only way and that’s what you were doing. A huge fish like that you can’t put too much hurt on them with light gear. Unfortunately as you found out one turn and it’s gone. Keep at it you will land the next giant.
Amazing video. Could feel the excitement and devistation! Well put together, keep up the excellent work!!
Cheers heaps for that Alex! I'm glad you enjoyed, love your work also!
Bro’s reinvented the game 🤯. I would’ve ate them all before I caught any 🐟 🤣
I worked on the Allen's machine that made them, in the 80s, before the Casino was built 😂😂😂😅😅❤❤❤😊
Your a bloody legend mate 👍👍
Dude the tension in the air was palpable! I think I'm just as devastated for you as you were. awesome vids keep em up!

Bro your the most underrated fishing UA-camr it’s not even funny love the channel btw
Means a lot, thank you!
using snakes to catch a lizard.
We used to use the silver paper on the inside of a ciggy box, catch a couple for bait and go home with a feed.
The big one that got away, people think this is a fish tale. Good video, Thank You.

Wow I assume it was a soft plastic ?

Yeah im spewing you couldnt see it on the camera but oh well. I was in shock when fighting it😂. Snakes are the new zman plastics😂
I wonder if you split the snake a little with scissors to give it some more action
Now you can eat lollies while fishing 🎣 😋
OH MY GOD
Lollll these are the only words that describe this video
Allen's snakes are the go caught a 58cm flathead myself on those bad boys
Lol was I the only one getting frustrated coz he wasn’t reeling it in😂
Yeah
Awesome video

Catch and cook next video or you owe me a shout out 😂😂😂 close call there man 👍🍻
No worries. Got one coming your way very soon😂
Great video! Unlucky this time...what rod are you using on this video? Egi rod?
Hope you get that big one in the future
Same here, shame i couldnt get it closer to the camera
Marshmellows work well too...
Mate I'm hooked I'm buying snake lollies on my next fishing outing
Got a 55 on a twistie before. Good job mate
Got a 3 metre flatty on a mars bar before. Nice work bud
Nah I just use chooks

Where is this at
Sometimes if your drag is too light a hook will just drop out when the fish turns or shakes it head.
If Allens made jerk shad shaped lollies they would make a fortune and if they made them pilchard or prawn flavoured they would do even better.
This fishing video was brought to you by "Snakes Alive"
thats gold mate
I have to try this. Sorry you lost it mate. Better luck next time.
Cheers!👍
Hi mate. Great video. You did nothing wrong. Slowly walking him backwards was the only way and that’s what you were doing. A huge fish like that you can’t put too much hurt on them with light gear. Unfortunately as you found out one turn and it’s gone.
Keep at it you will land the next giant.
You can have a Lollie while fishing to
Shoulda used fisherman's friends ;)
😂
tighten the drag on that bastard! good effort. bad luck.
Where’s this about?
great vieo mate
video
I think it’s the red sticking out to the fish
Great vid Nev, did you know that if your turn that handle thing on the reel it makes fish on hooks come closer to you?
Ouch I could feel the devastation :(
Awesome
Where’s this at
Never get that 12min back. Stingray
Eeeepppppiiiiicccccc
at least you could see it
I felt your pain
👍👍👍☝
It was the 3 meter flatty
big ray
Not a chance
Are you worried about stepping on stingrays? Where is this place? I thought every where is fished out?
Usually stingrays spook before you get to them
Just like point it up put it down reel and repeat till it comes in
Noooooo I can’t believe you lost it the story could’ve been passed down generations
I know right, sad as i lost it
Shame he is going to have fisherman nightmare
Typo in the title Nev. it’s *lolly. Plural is lollies.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
I want to go fishing with you and catch a 1m flatty
That is devastating, I feel your pain
Why didn't you just land it ?
Worse then a break up:(
i saw a person catch a huge fish with a ooshie lel
Did you know that there is a reel on your rod?
Do you live in cow
Is swan river
You played with it too long!
I caught one on gummybears
foul hooked a stingray
Nope, done that heaps tho
Yes they do mate i had 2 stingrays go for my lure
heartbreaking
Truly
Plz tighten ur drag, it is triggering me to the max
I would have enjoyed your video if you hadn’t kept saying OMG , how about trying O my Goodness.
