Na Tim ant had a fight on his hands and a gimbal bruise to prove it.. 18kg of blue grouper and was still a girl. Must be a big boy down there as well?? Ant wanted to release it but the gills were badly damaged by swallowed hooks. Will post some photos soon hopefully of hand feeding blues!!
well thats a bloody big fish. Heard they really do go off when hooked would really love to get one of them. To bad about the gills would be awsome to watch a fish like that swim back into the depths but there also great on the tooth so ah well
Work is just for people who havn't discovered fishing
