A Perth fisherman has reeled in a gigantic fish off Rottnest Island and says he now has dinner sorted for the next six months!

Cameron Winsor had the biggest catch of his life last week when what he thought was a snagged line turned out to be a big bass groper.

Video footage of the fish on scales shows it weighing in at a whopping 50.6kg.
 

Mr Winsor told PerthNow he ventured to a new fishing spot with some mates by chance and happened to get lucky.
He said he believed he had his fishing line stuck for 15 minutes before realising there was a whopper hooked on the other end.

“It took about 40 minutes to reel in,” Mr Winsor said as he revealed how his electric reel became jammed in the hustle.

He said he had to do some manual work to get the fish in — and pulled up sore the next day.
