The decky didn't know we were going to release them, normally I would gaff more in the mouth. They were only minor gaffed and should be no problems, They're pretty tough fish and were quickly released
Normally with bigger fish, you would gaff in the mouth, these fish only had minor injuries from the Gaff and would be fine. They swum away strongly, although are good eating, would prefer to let go,
Big distances off Mackay, Parker reef is 45 Nautical miles, not the best fishing, Credlin Reef at 50 nm, and Stevens 55nm, The further you go the better but these reefs are the most popular as well. The islands are Keswick 15nm, to Scawfell 25 nm, fishing is OK, but local experience does help,
thats massive, in case you were wondering i pinned you :)

Any concerns about releasing a gaffed fish? Seems kinda questionable to me. Maybe a net with knot-less mesh would be a better option.

No worries, one day, well worth a trip down under. The Great Barrier Reef is pretty amazing,
