The vis was >400mm and water temps around 19 deg.
Apologies for the quality of the one image but it was taken on a BlackBerry - the fish had to be photographed as we estimate it's weight to be well over 5 kgs.
The happy fishermen are Geoff Muir and Warrick Bennett
Hi Richard, those are some nice fish.
Invite me next time (Geoff & I go back years...)
While I agree those are large fish, weight is best measured, not estimated, so that fishermen are kept honesdt ;-)
PS - when are you going to invest in a McLean Weigh Net?
