How big do Trout Cod Grow?
Hey all,
First day of Holidays today and headed out to the Goulburn river for a late arvo fish.
Picked up a small cod on shimp.
Had a flick as evening approached.
Just on dusk was flicking a black and sliver Pompadour when Boof. A nice Trout Cod 70cms.
So how big do Trout cod grow? Have heard a few years back some on say that a 50cm Trout cod was big.
Cheers Jed.

According to fishes of Australia 85cm and 16kg so you've got a bloody good one.
As an aside the trout cod page also has a link to Wills true tales of the trout cod

Nice thanks for that.
So if Murray cod grow to 1.8metres and trout cod to 85cm he would equal 1.47metres of Murray cod. Ha
Still chasing the Metre plus cod on the cast.

Hey Jed, yeah a few of us have caught hybrids in the lower Mitta River a couple of years ago. They can get hard to pick, depending on the water they come out of. Lovely fish you got there though. :thumbsup:jedgpz wrote:was thinking Hybrid to start with but looks like a trout cod.
