I have caught fish that size in lesser places but they were after 1000's of casts, which you could argue made it more worth while. Also we caught a decent dogtooth, Bluefin trevally (lupo), MU (an arsehole red snapper thing) barracuda etc. Highlight was yellowfin tuna casting stick baits too.

They are great fish, but I rate a 25kg kingfish on a stick bait in 15m of water as comparable easily. Some may see it different but none of us had any issues landing big GT's

Is there a time of the year that is better than other times of the year?

I was just wondering in all the videos I`v seen there has not been a mention of eating them, so are they any good to eat!!.

Sagittaria poisoning is not a great way to go

Our slightly smaller versions are great but in the tropics they accumulate poison from coral fish as above.
