Green Island Wreck

[Daintreeboy]

Caught this big GT when a school of Mack Tuna cruised past the boat. I tossed my Mackeral Rod towards them with a Pilly and this fella rocked up.
Note the small shark bite on the side reminiscent of a Cookie Cutter Shark. I didn't think they lived in this area.

Got Him!!!
We never weighed it but estimated it to be around 35 kilos.
What does everyone think.
I'm about 190 cm tall.

The keepers.
The biggest Trout near my feet would be nearly 4 kilo to put it in perspective. Some nice Gold Spot Trevally, Mangrove Jack and a good Golden Trevally there too.
We released a stack of Gold Spot Trevally and others....plus an anchor after it rubbed off in the wreck
Showed we were in the right spot though 8)
Sorry, had to crop the photo to fit it

We were trying to get out wider but the weather was a bit ordinary as you can see by the pics so we were quite happy with the catch.
Cheers
