Brendan138 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 We can’t decide what species this is? Some say GT, others say some other species of trevally. Anyone know for sure? Was caught in weipa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Regan Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 did it have teeth? if not i would reckon it would be a golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Brendan138 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I originally thought golden as well. But they tend to have spots or strips I believe. I didnt notice if it had teeth. I also thought it might be a brassy trevally as well but according to wiki they don’t grow that big. This one was 100cm and weighed 24kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Blackfish Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) The Yellow Dorsal and Tail fins plus the spot (faint as it is) at the top of the gill plate definitely, a Brassy Trevally. But at 24kgs and 100cm definitely not. Edited October 14, 2017 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PaddyT Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Im calling Brassy but im also calling it a fair bit less than 24kg- sorry I know you aint meant to do that but look at the way its being held- also 100cm trev of any species is going to weigh about 15-20 lbs not kgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dirvin21 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 100% agree definitely a brassy Caranx papuensis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
