Excellent Giant Threadfin there Spooled. They go just as well on the plate as they do on the rod. Did you keep any of them for a feed or just catch and release?
All fish for the weekend were catch a release. We are heading south for the holidays so didnt want any in the freezer. Would have probably only kept 1 of them they are very thick fish. We ended up catching close to twenty. Good fun on the baitcasters. Yes they do go rather hard!! Tried to get them from the banks as the creeks are full of prawns and they ambush everything in shall0ow water. A couple of cracks on lure but no hook ups. All live baits.
