West Aussie Adventures 6: Mulloway
After a 35min tussle, he landed this beauty!! 120cm and 16kg of Mulloway, very similar to your White Sea Bass. A sensational fish taken from the Swan River, on the doorstep of Perth. Love ya work mate! Matt's take on the capture: Quote:

Great ...now that it's posted here...next week there will be 20,000 powerboats from LaJolla in your spot! Just kidding! Nice Post!
Great catch and great story! Gotta Love those (Mulloway?) It looks a lot like our WSB. I am guessing it tastes the same? Congrats!! |

Beautiful fish!
I don't think they make big enough nets for that kind of fish - the gaff is in order!

Thanks Guys.
The golden colour is typical of river caught Mulloway, when they come out of the ocean they are very silver in colour. Scientific name is "Argyrosomus Hololepidotus". We also have Northern Mulloway, which are very similar except for a narrower back. Both have a large "paddle" shaped tail, and grow up to 30+kg. Western Australian record for a Mulloway is over 40kg.

cool...live in both waters...like our Striped Bass. Does it taste better coming from salt or fresh? Another fish up in norhern cal called a Sturgeon is my all time favorite sashimi....2-3 days out of salt into the fresh and that meat was like candy.

Yeah definatley, the ocean fish have a much sweeter taste, are less "stringy".
Once they get over a certain size , they become a little tougher too, with less flavour.

That looks like a "kob" or "kabeljou" that we catch back in South Africa. The South African record is 73.5kg or 161lbs. We catch them from the beach or from boats. They frequent our estuaries too. I always think about fishing for them from the kayak when I go home for vacations, but the increase in white shark population keeps me out of the water... haha!
