Still a nice fish, it looks somewhat like a white seabass or totoaba.
Holy cow. And that's not even photoshopped. What a fish. That must have been a blast catching that from the surf.
That's a monster. Looking forward to more pictures
It is a lovely catch guys, this is the most targeted edible throughout the summer months in false bay,
heres the cuurent SA recorb for kabeljou/kob from the surf 82kgs/180,8lbs
Kob
more kob
That's a LOT of fish burgers !
some more kob
and some more kob
weve got strict regulations on the minimum size we are allowed to take, but more so for conservation we have a rule that the big fish/breeding stock be released if the fish can be revived, kob normally die of exhaustion after the fight from the surf, and evry once in a while guys will keep there trophy fish, but fish in the 15 to 25kg catergory often get released, This 52cm one i caught on wednesday and kept him for supper! hahaha our minimum size that we may take home is 50cm, just made it!
Welcome Jason!

Thanks everybody for the welcomes once again.
Hahahahaha yes i knew someone would say that, ive met him in person and his a big lad, actually makes that fish look alot smaller, on the othe hand a bag of cement here in S.A is 50kgs and tiny scrorny workers carry them all day. I guess to take a pic is much easier, picture two guys placing the fish in his welcoming arms and snap and done!
Welcome to this site. Your pictures were very inspiring. Please tell us how you rig up and your baits and rods etc. Ive never seen those types of fish. Thanks and hope to hear from you more!!!! gst.
