Nice KG. I'd release that one
Nice KG. I'd release that one if I caught it..... right to the esky. Sounds like a fair bit of action out there on the water.
The fish is a harlequin cod. Certainly some nice colours on them, and some very sharp teeth. Not bad on the chew if you were keen on eating fish.

Nothing wrong has been done
Nothing wrong has been done it's a case of C & R, fish was released he was asking for an ID

Two great fish mate.
Two great fish mate. Unfortunately the harlequin cant be kept until the reopening of the fishing closure. the harlequin is very tasty and would be very much welcomed in my eski. Ive been fishing from my boat for 6 years now and have only captured 2 harlequins, so as far as im concerned its a pretty rare capture in 9mtrs. Infact ive caught more dhuies, baldies, snapper and breaksea cod.
