Awesome capture, well done.

Awesome fish! My favourite to eat, raw, cooked, doesn't matter! I would take a guess at 50kg!

Cheers scratchie!!!

That's unreal. I'd love to chase those buggers some day when I've got a boat.

How do you prepare a big fish like that once you take it home?

[stevefish]

Nice one, there might be a few more in the cool water when the weather breaks this week.

35-40kg I reckon

[boattart]

I will guess around 40kg. Here is a link to a length weight chart post here previously.

Thats no good mate, we hooked a good stripe in 170fa, went nuts before spitting the hook a short time later. caught the strike on the GoPro as well which was good. 60-70kg, Came back and swipped at the lure 3 more times. Got the heart pumping

I'm tipping she went on the better sire of 40kgs.. Nice colour.. Dark on the shoulders, a bit dull through the toro, and short sickles. Nice young fish. I'd say she she'll have a nice fat content.. Hope you bled it well.... But, Happy eating... well done...

[finin]

nice fish, probably only 35kg.

[JohnDory]

Very nice Trophy fish

JD

40Kg + for mine!

The bait station is a an area were the bait starts to stack up much the same as the carpark is up at port we usually start at 151-45 and 33-46 that will get you into the general area. from memory I think its about 80-90fm
