arpie Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Just saw a video of what they reckon is the record for mangrove jacks - caught off Coffs Harbour! A huge 12.5kg - previous biggest was about 6.5kg! That is not a fish - that is a monster! Cheers Roberta Edited March 1, 2007 by Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomahawk1999 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Was it caught out on the reefs or in the river? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frantic Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 may have been from either,i know of a couple of spots in the rivers between coffs and nambucca that hold a few jacks ,Its like fishing for kingies in 10ft of water and hes got structure all around him lol. the odds are really in his favour.

jill7779 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 G'day all The report was in the 6pm evening news on NBN9. A prawn trawler Captain found the fish in their net. The fish has been sent to the Sydney Fish Markets. She was one BIG fish! Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Looks good but the previous Australian record was 11.679kg any pics? I'd say that is still the record if that other Jack was caught in a fishermans net. penguin Edited March 1, 2007 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi ya I was on the computer when the news item came on, so jotted down the news as it emerged - perhaps the Coff's newspapers would have it featured somewhere. It was huge! Obviously got that big from being pretty smart - but not smart enough to avoid the net! Cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
