I was extremely ill on this fishing trip - just released from hospital
After catching this 13 kgs (28.6 lbs) reef fish off Cairns, I was vomiting like never before. I should not have gone.

Glad to hear of your recovery, by the way, that's an absolutely nice sized red emperor, I have only caught smaller one, I envy you. :)(y)

Painted Cray, yum...

So glad you survived! Did you get well enough soon to eat that tasty looking fish?
 
I love to fish, but it isn't much fun when sick. Beautiful fish. Hope you feel lots better.

Both catches look tasty...yum !

Hope you´re feeling better .
 
This crayfish was caught by a Torres Strait Islander (Aborigine from TI) working as a cray diver.
There’s no way I would be going diving.
 
Ridge walker asked if the Red Emperor reef fish was nice to eat.
Let’s say you’d kill for it![emoji15]
Reef fish cone in two tastes - delicious and more delicious.
You should all plan a Great Barrier Reef fishing trip at least once in your life,

Yes a painted cray.
One thing about living in the far north east of Australia is the quality of the fish.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
