the1murph Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Hey guys, Caught this up in Cooktown, it ate a gold bommer and went like a freight train! I have no idea what it is.....?
0 The Iceman Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 We used to call them mother in law fish or blubberlips
0 Yowie Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 It's a Sweetlips species, very close to the Painted or Slatey Sweetlips. (Plectorhynchus pictus)
0 arty9 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yep...Caught one at weipa Said it was a mother in law fish... Slade bream or something like that
0 Morgs84 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) I caught one up hervey bay. not great (terrible) to eat but they have a massive tail which makes for a awesome fight! Good stuff Yowie is spot on with the sweetlip species call Edited March 7, 2011 by M()RGS
0 Blackfish Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I call them Slatey Bream, Certainly give you a good fight, but for their size you get a very small fillet and not worth the effort. Thank them for the fight and let them go I recon. http://australianmuseum.net.au/Slate-Sweetlips-Diagramma-labiosum-Macleay-1883/ I like the photo.
