james7 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 That's a terrific pig Wigg! Although, at 50cm, you could say it was a ... "porky" pig! Great catch from a yak. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donjuarez Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 what the hell are pig fish never heard of em are they good eating what bait do you use where do you catch them they look like they go hard Pig fish is something completely different!! A 'Pig' is an eastern rock blackfish a.k.a Drummer Great fighters for their size! catch them off the rocks, or near rocks/bommies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjohno Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) what the hell are pig fish never heard of em are they good eating what bait do you use where do you catch them they look like they go hard their called black drummer or rock blackfish (pigs are the nickname) as in they fight like a pig and head for snags as soon as their hooked taste great too gotta prep them the same as blackfish , if you hook one on blackfish gear (which is common ) they feed on green weed , abolone gut , peeled prawns and sometimes bread are good baits with very little weight chucked into the wash off the rocks and a stiff strong rod and hang on cause your in for a hell of a fight with light line , id say not many 50 cm models are brought in on blackfish gear with 4 lb leader Hope that helps Mark Edited September 18, 2008 by maxjohno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigg Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 I thought it was a rat king when I hooked up They are ferocious fighters when in shallow waters off the stones I picked this one up on 20lb mono and a peeled prawn (21 to 30 size) Cheers Wigg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
