Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. I trust all is well.
Here in South Africa we call it a Kob or Daga Salmon, what do you call this species where you come from ?
Awesome Fish, he caught it on Chokka (squid) whilst fishing for Ragies (Ragged Tooth Shark)
Keep well and tight lines !!
I see, it is a local name for what we would call a drum. Argyrosomus holoepidotus.

Cracking fish.
In Australia we call them Mulloway or Jewfish.
Tasty buggers too.
When I lived in SA I always caught the kids and sent them back with a message for the aunty’s and uncles like this to swim by my well presented chaka with a tasty makrell fillet sandwiched between.
Never had the pleasure of wrestling with one like this.Well done.
