A mate on a charter today out of Freo got a nice gold band, anyone else ever caught one locally?

And it was caught by a good friend who,was given the charter fishing trip by his wife for Christmas. I didn't post the photo as I felt I needed his permission to do so but was truly surprised to see such a fish caught in metro waters, I am trying to get the depth they were fishing in

piddling contest?

 Its a good one for sure , but my all time favorite was the shark mackeral caught east of Albany a few years back , casting for salmon.

 And back in the marine heatwave years it was quite common for baby rankins and redthroats off 2 rocks............ we got some.

 Son got a salmon off Learmonth Jetty a couple of years back. Got vid and photos to prove it, also I got an undersize dhufish off Carnarvon 3 years ago and had someone trying to tell me it was a pearl perch when I had probably caught more dhufish as a professional fisherman than he had gone to the toilet in his whole life.
