Alastair Vanstan from Wimmera Fish Hunters caught his fair share of Murray Cod using size two stump jumpers.

Meanwhile, Native Temptation Baits' Thomas Paterson landed a monster Murray Cod closer to home.

While fishing at Taylor's Lake on March 29, he pulled in a 101cm lunker estimated to weigh between 25-30kg.

"It was an absolute fish of a lifetime and will never be forgotten," Paterson said.

The one metre monster was caught on yabbies.
