I snagged this solid healthy specimen of southern black bream. More specifically, Nong's bream!
Not big at 27.5cm, but fish is a fish.
Those that have tried, you'd know how hard Nong bream can be to catch on lures.
The blue infeet Z rod was awesome to use to fight the bream, the Abu BF8 felt like overkill (usually I use the BF8 for bass and salt). Varivas braid and 4lb fluorocarbon leader were doing fine. It rubbed me on the rocks but held well. 1/16 jighead and small bug looking plastics were getting the bites.
