What was that?!

Was fishing Coles Channel after dark and hooked up multiple times - would have it on for a bit then a massive commotion, thrashing on the surface and a clean bust off. Any ideas??

Gorilla. Schoolies largely stay down much like Gummies unless you're fishing shallow. Wouldn't discount a Bronzie either even though water temps are freezing

Ended up getting an up close look - looked to be a bronze, must have be at least 2+ meters! Incredible to watch as it circled the boat and went on its way. Has no chance of bringing it in with our gear.
