Big, large, Monster Cod, just massive!! by Sally!!

Big monster cod by Sally on a recent three day fishing charter to the Great Barrier Reef, This trip was out to Charlie's bommie, a small remote reef about 75 nautical miles(150 Kilometres) from Mackay. We had some sensational reef fishing for three days catching heaps of red emperor, coral trout, nannygai, spanish mackerel and heaps more.
Watch out for TV Show on fishin trip with Jason Kennedy, coming out in October, A Big Red Emperor spectacular!!
Sally our new skipper, caught this monster, a very large goldspot cod, also known as an estuary cod. would've have been easily over 20 kilograms. they can be hard to release after being pulled up from the deep, but Matty and Sally vented the fish, towed the big cod to revive him and eventually he swam off. Always great to release these big breeding fish, and they're not great for eating when they get to this size.
Well done Sally, top fish.

In Australia we call them Goldspot Cod, or Estuary Cod. I think you call them Grouper?

Doesn't hurt to release unwanted fish, and we had a good catch of reef fish. These big cod aren't great for eating, they get a bit tough!! Give me Coral trout and Red Emperor anyday,

Cheers Greg

@Reefari That's some bull... I belong to the dead fish crew, any fish we catch is dead!!!

Big cod, and can be hard to release, took a bit, but good to see him go, Not great for eating the big Cod, and good breeders,

Cheers Greg
