  1. Cheers guys, I haven't caught huge snapper at harries biggest one going 58 but this was definitely a different fight and having never caught a jew wondered if I could have been on one. Try again this weekend I guess and see if I can get one up! serrguht were you out there sunday morning alseep in your center console? Thought I saw one that looked like yours, who ever it was there was 3 guys asleep must have been out all night
  2. Just wondering if those that have caught these fish before could shed some light on how jewfish fight? Fishing at harries on Sunday with every other man and their dog had these experiences. Live baits would go mental for a few seconds then nothing, live bait gone. No bite at all like a snapper would, we just watched the rod tip go crazy for a few seconds then nothing. The one I am most interested in was a big run I had. It was a flesh bait right on the bottom, really fast run, similar to when a mackerel takes it's first run. Got a bit of line back on it, and it ran again, unfortunately up the front and wrapped itselt around our anchor rope nearly cutting through the thing. Snapped itself off in the process. Wasn't fishing overly light either with 30lb braid on the daiwa saltist 6500, drag was pretty firm and this thing was stripping line like no tomorrow. Could it have been a shark maybe? Would appreciate anyone's thoughts.

    Bonito vs tuna

    I am up for new things, will try and get a couple of tuna next time and try smoking some. I generally like most smoked fish so cheers for that.

    Bonito vs tuna

    Having never caught one that size before, I was amazed with the amount of blood in the fillet even having bled it and didn't fillet it for about half an hour. It was the first cast of the morning on a brand new rod and reel combo so I was pretty stoked with breaking it in with that fish. Wasn't overly interested in eating sashimi at 6 in the morning so didn't bother trying it

    Bonito vs tuna

    I was having a lot more sucess with pilles and squid, every now and then something would take the tuna, oddly enough usually leather jackets

    Bonito vs tuna

    Hi all, got this on sunday morning, I was 99% sure it's a bonito but then saw a similar fish in another guys thread referring to it as a tuna. Would be great to get clarification please. Either way I was stoked with the fight it put up, threw a metal slug at it, first cast I was on.
