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.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
