Is that a barramundi in the first picture? It's a grown fish, whatever it is :D Nice cobia too! Do you call them cobia down under? Other names for them around this country are ling, lemonfish and crabeater.

Nice boat too 8) She does look good!

Great boat and awesome catch. I sure hope you had a bigger rod to land that barramundi than the one in the background 8O If not, I bet that was one hell of a battle.

Yep.. That is a Barramundi around the magic meter 102cm, was caught on the light soft plastics gear. Mostly we call Cobia ...Cobia or Black King. That Cobe was also caught on the same light gear on a soft plastic lure, it took almost an hour to bring to gaff and it went just over 50lb.
