Black GTs are like London Buses...

Good points Andy.

The camouflage and diet points may be related - i.e. the need for camouflage against those dark basaltic rocks is met by something specific in the diet.

I also forgot to mention some anecdotal evidence for the breeding males theory. I can remember several occasions when a very black GT I caught has been very milty.  I know others have mentioned this as well.

Ed Nicholas:
Awesome fish Trev. We landed way more Black Geets through April than at any other time of year down here and alot of them were heavily laden with sperm often squirting it out on deck adding to the projectile vomit, sh*t and slime that covered us from these beasts.

Is there really no information around on identifying M/F GTs, age of the fish etc? I find it astonishing that there are so many of us chasing these fish yet we know pretty much sweet F-A about them. We can find hundreds of threads on how to catch them, the best lures etc but info about the fish themselves is like gold dust.

Trevor Skinner:
Ed,

Seriously, if Mark can't control his bodily functions and keeps making a mess of your boats like that you should ban him. It's just not polite let alone unhygenic.




Trev



 

Ed Nicholas:

Mark Harris:
Even I will admit that is very funny! :)
