Fish pic for the Australia section?

A couple for consideration

The top photo was taken at one of the tourist barges moored on the great barrier reef. I took the family out there last year. They have some glass bottomed boats and observatories for non divers which my daughters loved. That was one of the hand fed spangled emperors.
The second one is me with a narrow barred Spanish mackerel from a comp.
The last shot is a friend of mine with a nice example of a Dhufish, endemic to Western Australia. Weighed about 10kg from memory.

Sick fish man. Nice pics. I like the third one best for this purpose

Very cool pictures. When I hear Australia, I always think of really big mackerel.

I like the Mac shot too.:thumbsup2:

Cheers, Don

I reckon the Paxmans might have a part to play in that! That one went 21kg gilled and gutted, still only half the size of the record shot here in WA but was my PB.

Hopefully some other Aussies chip in with better photos soon.

I only link it because it is probably the best thread to ever be posted on SB, that's the Paxmans.
