Crocodile Couta at Trafalgar

Crocodile Couta at Trafalgar

Peter Nelson has the second monster crocodile this season with his couta at Trafalgar last week. At 28kg’s, it’s a dream fish for a spearo.

So with the 36kg fish taken on a jet ski down at…guess… Port Edward of course, you can definitely say it’s time to start hunting your dream couta.

The lower south coast each year attracts the biggest couta, or king mackerel, on the globe.

Amazing catches of fish up to, and over 50kgs have been reported over the last few years, photos, stories and all. It’s quite difficult to get accurate weights on these big fish (scales that go over 50kg are rare), but the 100 pounder club has swelled ranks remarkably. The last few years will go down as the time of the monster crocodile couta.
