Anyone Caught One Of These?

[Wantingaboat]

Hi All,

I am not trying to gate crash Roberta's post as i think its such a good idea but thought people had time to reply to both, maybe. Was wondering if anyone had ever caught one of these. Not sure of the proper name but they were called Titan fish when we were scuba diving. They actually ram you and you have to protect yourself with your fins if you swim near them and they are very aggressive. Thought they would put up a decent fight if on a line. We saw them in Malaysia and Indonesia but they may exist up the coast. Heres a picture i took.

They look pretty similar to a trigger fish much like a leatherjacket, have caught one off the reef in qld, no pic unfortunately.

According to Grant's Guide.... it's a Black TIpped Trigger Fish.
