Couple Massive Coral Trout! ... my PB's

Hi All

I don't post many pictures these days but thought I had to share some massive trout that I got last week, yes these are my PB Trout to date.. :) the largest went 97cm and the other is 92cm, overall very happy all taken on jigs in a hot jigging session.. all released very well to swim for another day so they can get alot bigger for someone else to catch :)

Totally stoked when these came aboard didnt release they grow so big..:) been told they grow as big as 25kg in some parts of the world!! dam this would be some fish to land I am guessing!.. these fish caused a good fight in very reefy conditions.. both taken with a Temple Reef R9/Stella 8k/PE6 ... my 97cm scaled about 18kg.. a very fat fish for sure!!

For those of interest, these are from Seringapatam Reef north of Scotts Reef, totally awesome place to jig, pop and stickbait!, it was a GT mayhem week ..105 for the week!

Cheers
