An early morning session off the rocks for 7 macks, released 4 and kept 3

 

The biggest was 'mauled by a big estuary cod (Big Clarrie's little sister)

And the end result, an 81 cm (32") spotted mackerel.

Tea tonight, well, half a fillet will be enough for Mum and me.

The first picture is great!

Was the mauling as bad as the one a certain cricket team are getting?

Would the Cod in the top picture be the same fish as a Murray Cod? Striking looking fish your ozzie Mackerel!

G'day mate, the cod is an estuary cod (epinephelus tauvina), which grow to some 200kg. The murray cod is strictly a freshwater fish (muchollochella macquariensis). which grows to some 65kg.

 

The mackerel clan are among the favourite angling fish around Australia, We have 6 varieties, the spanish being the biggest, reaching 250Cm and 60kg.
