Finally caught a decent fish in what seems like ages. It's called a Mangrove Jack, not huge but its pretty rare to catch one and they're tough fighters. It went right in under the mangroves and I only just managed to haul it out. My Dad also caught three fish called Grunters which are common, and yep they actually grunt :). It was a really nice day out (in tropical northern australia) so I took some pics of the scenery too.

My Dad holding the Mangrove Jack, those teeth are sharp as, nice eating fish too.

Nice photos!

Down here (or, up here..) in Florida, that fish looks almost like a mangrove snapper.

Nope, had 4 keepers (1 Jack and 3 Grunters) forgot to take pics of the grunters. Also caught about a dozen Moses Pearch but they were too small. I had the Jack for tea last night, mmmmm delicious :).
