So what was the monster that Terry caught in the river?

I have no internet at the moment and this has been driving me nuts for the last 2 months.

Was it a cod???

was the cod caught in the river? doesnt look live a river cod, wierd colours

[Terry H]

That's because its not a cod.

[fishinking]

what is it

[fishinking]

qld grouper

[Terry H]

Yes, Pinky said it's a QLD Groper.

And the website you saw it on said it was a Groper.

[Mack_attack]

Hey Terry did you catch it or did Jeremy?

EDIT: sorry just saw the vid:blush: ...ok he wound it in but i'm guessing you guys did all the background work?

[Terry H]

I rigged up that particular bait, rowed it out and then instructed Jeremy on what to do (when and how to set the hooks etc). For the purposes of the video, Jeremy was the one to bring it in. I remember having to tell him to just leave the rod and let the fish take it. It wasn't a hit n run rather a slower stop n start pick up.

As with all our sharking catches, as far as I'm concerned it's a team catch.

[Mack_attack]

haha just too slow with the edit

That's what i was thinking

[Old Scaley]

Not sure I can believe anything on that website, after how it describes the Brisbane River. Small and muddy, I can live with that. As far as I know the Tasman sea stops at the Qld/NSW border and the Coral Sea kicks in north of the border. I suppose I could be wrong as usual. Anyway great fish. Saw something similar floating belly up a few years ago under the Victoria Bridge so there must be a few of them. Did it release ok?

[Feral]

Well since you finally fessed up as to what it was, congratulations to you and the team!

[Terry H]

Old Scaley, yea The little picture is a bit out

Afterall the River empties out into Moreton Bay

Sites so slow its pretty much unwatchable, download helper wont download the video either! got the gist of it in stills.

[Terry H]

Apparently when they went and saw the guy that had this fish up his penis, they took the very fish that was up there for him to see lol.

[pinkey]

Virtually identical,but they can survive in lot colder conditions. There was even talk of introducing them here for southern waters many years ago.
