  • We used the biggest Murray cod lures to try to catch the biggest Murray cod Lake Eildon has to offer. These are the heaviest freshwater giant fish i have ever weighed.
    These are the biggest fish you will encounter on a swimbait, Murray cod lures get more exciting the bigger they are.

    This channel is about fishing swimbaits for big Murray cod in places like Copeton Dam through to Barramundi in impoundments like Lake Awoonga. In addition, my channel teaches tips and techniques to help you catch more fish. Mixed in will be some bass fishing techniques and tips for trout fishing. From my years of bass tournament fishing, I have learned to pay attention to detail, and the small things make a difference in catching a couple of fish or a lot of fish.

    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.

      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

      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 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

    • @DeanSilvester
      @DeanSilvester  3 місяці тому

      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
