Record?
5.8kg is the biggest I spotted in a google of Aussie recods. Must be close to that? Almost certainly the biggest caught on a handline off a rig.

Rainbow Runner
That fish would clearly give 5.8kg a shake. It's the biggest I've seen taken in WA if it was in fact caught here, any more details Doopa??

46kg
46kg is the record for a rainbow runner over here in Pohnpei. So I'm sure there are some monsters off the WA coast somewhere.

As of June 2009 the state record was 4.760 caught at the Mackerel Islands in 1987, so you wouldn't think it would take much beating??
