Hey Maverick...they do look pretty tough...like a bulldog with fins...plenty of teeth and lots of go...really good lure and jig takers, and a great table fish...grow to 30-40lb I think...I've seen one 14kg specimen that was an impressive fish but the average is 3-8kg. Very striking fish straight out of the water.

Great fish, shame you can't eat them though...plenty of them there, especially around the lagoons...some really big bruisers around the larger bommies....although I reckon trout go harder pound for pound
