An awesome day out at Stevens Reef, with a bit of reef fishing and Spearfishing, off Mackay on the Great Barrier Reef! We pulled up on one of our favourite spots and one of the first fish caught was a nice 7.5 kg Bluespot Coral trout which was also 75cm in length. New fishing Regulations now mean all Bluespot coral trout over 80cm have to be released, so pays to remember this if you get a true monster, our best is 14 & 15 kilogram fish. Truly a fish of a lifetime. With Anthony onboard, an excellant Spearfisherman, the guys went in spearing. The haul of top quality coral trout continued as well as several more Bluespot coral trout up to 5kilos. Larni, got harassed by a big Hammerhead and cut his spear and trevally off and went over and saw Anthony for support, Hammerhead followed and saw Anthony's nice Coral trout and taxed that as well. Exciting stuff, and glad I was in the boat, Hammerhead shark's can get Feisty!! Enjoy the footage with some real nice trout taken spearfishing,
Cheers Greg

Nov 29, 2009 - when coral trout get realy big they turn red with blue spots... got a 42lb coral trout in Tavarua, Fiji last year

Nov 29, 2009 - Check Out our Monster coral trout video, but have caught pink, white, grey, and black colours. These are yellow when juvenile and lose the colour when they grow. 42 lb certainly a nice one, Cheers Greg

Reefari Says:
Feb 18, 2011 - Ciguatera can be a problem and does get worse the bigger the fish, keeps accumulating up the food chain. Haven't heard of any problems off Mackay in the Bluespot Coral Trout. But anything over 15 Kilos would be getting Suss, although Bluespot have a max size of 85 m's so any really big trout easily go over this mark and should be released. Awesome fish at this size and great to release these big breeders, Cheers Greg
