    Yes, it is a brilliant fish, but 4KG's would be almost 9 pounds, and this fish is nowhere near that. It's a 5 to 6 pounder. Look at the size of the guys hands, and them compare the girth.

    Eeeiiissshhhh Andre, just 'cos you Slaaaapenaars have small hands, and are used to 6" trooot, don't downsize the fish.
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    If it helps...check my profile album, there is a 9lb Largie, maybe that would be a good gauge...

    Its not your firewall, its imageshack.

    Pierre made a request a while back that we all stop using image shack due to this very issue:

    http://www.flytalk.co.za/forum/showt...ght=imageshack

    So the pics would have to be hosted elsewhere for us to see them.

    Thanks Mark. That explains it but still can't use the others suggested, policy violation from my side.....aaarrrgg!!
    Anyway, jpeg is still better to post.
