Awsome looking fish
Did he go for bait or back into the drink to be caught later?

Bait!
Be lynched if you used one of those for bait, theyre pretty much known as southern coral trout!! Captured the colours nicely

Definate table tucker
That one was dispatched to the esky straight away. Beautiful white fillets. I rate Harly as good as Dhuie on the plate. Baldie's not that bad either and we got two of them.

Sacrifical Baby Snook
Boy was he happy with that, and immediately changed hook sizes...upwards.

Sacrificed
I thought the first fish was meant to be released to appease the fish gods! Unless Andy just wanted me to send my baldie back for a laugh! Cheeky bugger!!

Good move Shamu. Couldnt think of anything worse than having to release a big Dhuy first thing in the morning. Firm but Fair Andy,Firm but Fair.

No weird voodoo magic
Sacrificed was probably the wrong word, yes it was released and with a kiss too if I remember correctly. Shamu was very happy to get that fish as the sounder started showing some pretty big shapes. (hehehe)
