now that is one fat cod,i think that the one that i lost last trip was nearly as long but not that fat.nice fish i bet it gave you some curry on the thunnus,she is bloody good line to.talk to you soon
tried to weight him .but i was rooted and it was rough the scales were bouncing around . from 15kg then bottomin out at 25..reckon it would of gone about 20 kg
hey nice fish...any one else come across this purist thought that cod are freshwater fish and groper are salt water....I mean to me a cod is a cod..eg malabar, estarary, honey comb etc...
Got a mate who recons we are talking crap and they are groper???? I thought it was only like Qld Groper????
mate the only groper in that photo is mitch,i spent quite some time on line fishing boats all through the great barrier reef and have seen a lot of groper,and i reckon that a groper is just a big cod ,we use to feed them all of our shark bait as we could not put the shark line in if there was a big groper and i say groper because these guys were all between the 150kg to 300kg mark and they warrent being called so,but i am interested in hearing if there is a difference between them .
leave nothing but footprints,take nothing but memories and maybe a few fillets and a muddie or two
i have asked a few questions since i posted that last comment and the general reply is that there not real sure but all agree that once a certan breeds of cod reach the right length they are then classed as a groper and become protected.
which i think is great and do not agree with anyone trying to catch these great creatures.
they should be left to there own.
