This Is Why You Should Fish Bridges! (MONSTER FISH!)
We tend to think that large predators live far away in the unexplored wild, but some monsters swim right under your feet. They may not always seek out big prey or baits and will at opportune times select the tiniest of morsels especially when the rains are bringing an assortment of varied food items.

Thank you very much John! I am always in awe even though I know what it is from the hook up from years of experience, how difficult it is to see the fish till it absolutely comes belly up. It can be 10cm under the surface and big fish like that are still not visible till the very last second. You'll get one John. They key is to have a very solid foundation of working the lure (double hop, very consistent and reliable) with the right lure (3-4 inch paddle tail like the ones I've mentioned previously) and a few other key points and it's all about time on the water. I may do an offline Podcast (myself) talking about jewfishing shortly but otherwise, expect a lot of information coming from me over the next several months
