Both these tailor taken on Sliders - 5.5kg from Rainbow and 6.2kg from south of Teewah. The 6.2 pic was taken from video, thus the quality.
Have a few others, but would need to scan first.

Funny thing with tailor, the bigger they are the better they are to eat IMO.
My pb is 10lb cleaned, caught in May this year, one morning about 15 mins after sun-up, suprisingly. Poor sucker was in the wrong place at the wrong time..... No pic of this one unfortunately.
Most notable thing about larger tailor is the size of their heads!
I subscribe to the large slab of tailor/mullet for the larger fish theory, leaves pilchards for dead IMO. I'm happy using either snelled hooks 10/0 gama suicide with 3/0 'keeper' hook above, or a gang of 3 x 7/0 VMCs. 3 x 5/0 gama gangstars for the smaller versions.
Poor mans game fish? Flippin' oath!
Pic is of a nice feed caught in early June this year. These fish are a distant memory, I think they are all up at Fraser atm!
Cheers.

This one caught just north of waddy one night in april . Kept hooking up
with strips of flesh on a gang then being spat out. Changed to a sharp live bait hook with a big hunk of dart flesh. 80 pound leader chewed through just as he was beached. very lucky .
