Marcus Viderberg good customer of ours from Sweden wanted to share this.... he used a Razar 450 custom spin we made for him with the intension of jigging a big Dogtooth on a recent trip to Tanzania.... don't know the exact weight but it was big considering Marcus is 6ft  plus . There is a video link of his trip as as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-haSBNJI4c

Some nice fish there Metal Mayhem, 

Are those Samson Fish dirty fighters? I just know a kingie of that size in 42m with PE2 would usually end in tears Cry. Some solid fish and good to see other species being posted up.

lads,

ill answer as in order!

Dhufish is different to a peal perch...look similar but only found on the west aus coast between albany and kalbarri.

Dhufish is delicious to eat! though we do tend to release a few. one 10-15 kg fish is enough for a few fillets each.

the coronation and coral trouts are my favourite more northern species to eat.

favourite eating fish from the west is the boldchin groper

Sambos = yuck we always just release them....
