Hi Guys, Good catch, definitely a Trumpeter and a Pack Horse Cray too....Well Done ..I used to fish off Slipper Island sme type of catch there too.. BUT NOT diving.. Hook line and cray basket baited with Rubber Lips OR(Green Bone)used to do the cray baskets(POTS) about every three days.. Cheers Allfish.

Nice catch alright. That cray looks like something from alien. Wrapped around your head easily especially with them 2 from claws...ouch!

Not that many of these around nowadays.
They got raped back in the day. Trophies.
Pigfish ay?
Got a photo of my ex holding a big Green on the Triphena wharf. She's holding the
Big feelers at the head and the tail is touching the deck.
Will post if I can find it ... Monster!
