20.69kg Metro Spanish Mackerel

Headed out of Hillarys with Tony for an evening try yesterday.  Not long after we anchored up his floating scalie was inhaled, and the below images show the result.  Was good to see it go past 20kg on the certified scales - 130cm long with a 65cm maximum girth.  It was a relatively long fight on the snapper gear, and a happy boat when landed.

 Pretty unreal catch fishing for pinks.

Did notice bulk bubble ups last few trips .

We're you using gangs or just luck with the lack of snip off?
