Mod Note
Legal Size for Coral Trout and Redthroat Emperor is 38cm minimum.
Whilst I can see there is some doubt as to the size of the Coral trout with the angle on the mat etc I think there is little doubt a couple of the redthroat are undersize.
Due to the nature of this type of fishing I concede there are inherent difficulties in sizing your capture before killing them, however erring on the conservative side seems the best way to avoid making a mistake, thus helping to ensure plenty for next time.
Members, it has now been said so let's leave it alone for the rest of the thread.
