        Finnegan Sets News Australian Match Record

        Aussie Total-Fishing.com member Dara Finnegan has set a new Australian match record in the country’s Trans Tasmanian series fished over two days on Lake Hume in New South Wales.

        Dara weighed in a massive 157.5kg of carp and wild hybrids, fishing pole shallow at 9m and using form and pellet.

        Amazingly that wasn’t enough to win the match, as Tony Howard also scored a perfect two section points but beat Dara over the two days on weight in a match with multiple 15lb plus weights.

        The venue also hosted the Australian Teams of Four National a few days later, which was won by the Melbourne Gold team made up of T Howard, J Foxall, K Thomas, T Whelan.

                Gareth what’s going on with your editing mate!

                I’d like to know what form and pellet is?

                And “with multiple 15lb plus weights”, surely not!

                  Come to that Tim, is Dara the record holder or is it Tony Howard who appears to have beaten him ?
