45.8kg Jewfish Silver mulloway. Yes you read that correctly!

Biggest mulloway caught on tape. Taken from Western 2016. Secret Silver aka muloway aka jewfish are the most highly prized fish in Aus. When they are this size they once in a lifetime fish. Truly.

[@kobieluck5830]

Would of been even better to see it swim off after You don’t see many Jew that size and in that condition Past table size but none the less great catch I hope none of it went to waste 🤙🏽

[@ian-lw9ns]

It wont have survived ( see all the blood streaming out of it and it's obviously buggered), was too severely injured and would have ended washed up on a beach . If the fish is in good shape when landed it can be returned and should survive. Catch and release is OK for braggards, but most of us fish for the table, a big jewfish will steak up and also provide fillets that will feed a family for weeks - they freeze up nice in the deep freeze.

if you are fishing of the beach then you do not need a gaff if you are fishing of rocks or a boat a gaff is often needed that was also a giant jewfish and it would not have been landed without a gaff and anyone who catches such a amazing fish will take it home so it was going to die anyway , anyone agree.

[@johnrogers5825]

Biggest Jewie caught in Australia is 57.4kg by a spear-fisherman. It is on internet and it makes this one look smaller. I don't like seeing big fish of any species killed, as they are often not the best eating, and can be full of worms. They usually are the breeders too. In this day and age, with species extinctions and over-fishing, people should be doing the right thing. Why not measure and photograph it, then release it.

Best I've seen was a 120 pound jewie landed was in the 1970s from the end of Stockton B/W by a guy who was fishing "a fresh" using a live mullet under a big home made foam float using a big centrepin reel on a big rod. Best I've caught was an 86 pound jewie from Nobbys Wall in 1995 while after fishing all afternoon for Snapper in the Shark-Hole. Anyone can land big jew from a boat, it lots harder from the rocks.

[@YouFishTV]

We literally filmed weighing it and measuring it. So I’m not sure how you could possible dispute the size. We’ve caught many large Jews and your comment is pretty bloody disrespectful to be honest. When you’ve caught and weighed a 1.7m one you can have an opinion.

[@ian-lw9ns]

Lot of jewfish are caught by regular jewfishers who fish for the table and don't give a shit about trophies and winning comps, aren't into or interested in comp fishing and so never get recorded. My best jewfish was > 6 ft long 86 pound . I caught on Nobbys Wall, I was alone (as is often the case fishing there overnight) and I had to land it myself using my long gaff.
