Bull Shark,
That looks like one of those Pacific Island fish, Fiji maybe? That's a horse, any estimate of weight or length?
Pistol_P,
Nice red Trout in your first photo and not far offshore either. Nice Longnose (Your Avatar) I recently saw a Longnosed Emp. just over 11kg, amazing fish at that size.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges
Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)
Many of the good coral trout posts on ausfish were in the earlier archives, all the pictures in those posts were lost several years ago, for many of the newer members that never saw these posts, particularly of coral trout heres a few of mine, some are 10 years or more old, there all fish from innisfail, ... foxy
Been waiting for you to provide a photo or 3,Foxy...
Mate.... what weight are those big suckers ....obviously well before the new bracket limits were brought in....and did you catch them in the deeper water???
Up to what size would you say would be an acceptable risk regarding ciguetera poisoning.

i did a little research Disorderly...apparently the big boys (18 years old and 26 kilo) big boys can carry the poisen...but if anyone caught a fish that big...wouldnt they just take a piccie (post it here ) then release it ???
on topic...this is my biggest coral trout and my first...just a smidge over 3 kilos...caught at Swains on an overnight trip with the family...on of all things the scrappy picked to hell skin of an iodine bream...i was pulling the hook back in to re-bait...watching it juuuuuust drift past a fantastic brain coral encrusted bommy...BANG!!!...GAME ON!!!...i near crapped myself!!!...then tried to get back to where he'd come from...i needed Dave to help me reel him in (i got tired )...i learnt from that day on...that trout dont nibble...they TAKE

This was my biggest fish for a long time 17.5lb. caught about 6 years ago in 30mtrs of water around Murphy's if you believe me!! Caught on a lump of squid right on the bottom using a 30lb handline. Skipper got one same day about 1/4 this size, he wasn't very happy with me lol. I can still remember the fight.. He got me snagged up to the bottom twice but somehow I got him out of that.. Half way up and he went again and I had a bellow of line between my hands that was higher than my head luckily I controlled that and stopped the run before he hit bottom again.
Cheers
Brandon...
