Fished for a few hours this morning off the mouth with a mate (I'm from NZ), got this 10kg Jewfish? and also this other fish.... but I'm not sure what it is, looks like a smaller stouter version of the Jewfish?! It went almost 4kgs. Cheers, Andrew

that's a grunter or javelin fish, bloody good size too well done.

nice fish mate! believe the second one is a barred javelinfish (grunter) and a cracker at that!
That was fast, thanks mate, will have a Google and learn a bit about them, had lovely firm white flesh so hoping it's good eating. Cheers
Super tasty fish
Ock ock is another name

Andrew, yep its a very nice Grunter and a prized table fish.Originally Posted by aharding
Nice effort Mate good on ya...awesome Grunter, bet that went ballistic if smaller models are anything to go by?
Cheers.
Fought real well on 4kg braid alright, thought it was a Snapper as have caught a few over there before, dogged, head-thumping fight, fought better than the Jewfish at half it's size, infact the Jewfish did not do much really, just a heavy weight, a few more species to tick off the list thought! Was in about 8m of water on a Jackall Trans-am. Cheers
