I remember seeing you guys at the Exmouth marina filleting tables with that bad boy, I was the guy on the tables before you. I remember something about it being 33kg or something, which looks about right. It was from Exmouth reef yeh?
not a photo of the month contender IMO, nice fish for sure and congrats to the angler, but would have been good to see it released. A backyard shot of a good fish isn't exactly a 'good' shot...
we all got to start somewhere.thats a top fish in anyones standards.well done i hope you had a few good meals.have to admit but i would have taken a pic and released but thats me and it was your choice ,again well done
Great fish mate. I remember my first big fish up North. A big Queenfish over a metre long. I kept it, ate it and it was great. I've never kept one since but I'll always remeber that big one. I was also 14 at the time. Once again DJ great fish (Some people will never catch a GT that big even though they have all the specialised tackle) Tell us how you caught it....Must be a good story and now that you've got your big one you can be happy letting the next big one go.

I think i told u the story heaps of times and it tasted like chicken for some reason made good curry. And by the time i got it in after a 30min fight it was basically dead so it couldn't have swam away.

Congrats, good fish.
Congrats, good fish. Certainly some size to him.
I have some reservations though - 150cm must make him a very tall 14 year old.
How does old GT taste?
