    How long is it at 7kgs?

    What weight is a Mangrove Jack when it is legal - 35cms?
    How long is it at 3kgs?

    What weight is a School Mackeral when it is legal - 50cms?
    How long is it at 3kgs - do they get to 3Kgs?

    Thanks

    A 75 cm spaniard would be around 3.5 to 4 kg. A 7 kg spaniard would be around a metre I reckon. My biggest is 16.75 kg and it was 140 cm overall length.

    A 50 cm school mackerel would be about 1.5 kg. They do grow to about 6 kg or more, but average size in Moreton Bay is about 2 to 2.5 kg. A 3 kg fish would be around 70 cm.
