Title: Chinese Seerfish / Mackerel
Post by: Gerhard on October 04, 2015, 03:13:27 PM

Another of the Scomberomrus family... (spanish mackerel family)


These brutes are found in the Western Pacific and the grow upto 100kg.


Interesting that they enter the Mekong River.


These two were caught in Taiwan off the rocks.


The biggest was 65kg  :shk :shk

Amazing! And the small reels they use! The reel on the right looks like a 5000 size Sustain or similar!
