Hi

guys

Number five was a dolphin looking for food. It freak us out.....we thought it was a shark at 1st.

The other fish was a blue fish...it left a nice mark on my finger..I was working on bringing it on the boat, and my hand landed in it mouth.

I'm working on a fly fishing trip soon.

i was thinking shark as well. we often see dolphins at fraser and places. usually not a good sign if fishing for tailor/bluefish as they take off. not a big surprise. one of my favourite memories was lat one arvo at fraser, near indian for those that know the place, where two dolphins had caught a tailor and (they must have already eaten their fill) were actually tossing it back and forth and catching it, like kids playing with a ball. amazing. similar to those shots of the killer whales doing the same with a baby seal.

for us, tailor are named after tailor shears because of their ability to bite and cut through anything. i have a large scar on one finger thanks to dealing with one decent sized fish.

did yours have worms? i gather that many of yours do whereas it is extremely rare for us.

» Hey Colt45 it is a Grouper....not sure the type of grouper.

Thanks Carlos - it almost looks like a rock cod. I love grouper!

that is the wussiest groper of all time. over here, they can swallow a human whole without touching the sides. mind you, they are reasonably friendly and only likely to cause problems out of curiousity.

mind you, the few bones and tarpon we have also belong, sadly, in the wussy basket.

Great series of photos Carlos!

I can't believe they changed the name of Jewfish

It's a Jewfish. Recently changed name to Goliath Grouper because people thought the name was offensive. Stupid if ya ask me...next thing you know they'll change the Rockfish in fear it will offend crack heads.

By the way Carlos...the Jewfish is a protected fish. Cant harvest them at all....and a newly appointed rule, you can't even take them out of the water for a picture as they now consider that "harvesting". They are tightening the noose.

Ken, yes that may be a tiny one, but they get to be huge. Its one of the biggest prehistoric fish around.
