Trumpeter on 52's

I went fishing at the Kalgan Yesterday and caught a Trumpeter on a scorpian 52's. It was not foul hooked either. Square in the side of the jaw. Also lost something that was lond and thin.
I was thinking that it could have been either a K.G.Whitting or a Pike. Has anyone got a K.G. on a lure. I know that you can get the Y.F.Whitting on lure but K.G.'s????

I saw 3 KG`s and a sand whiting landed in the last 10 days on 52 scorps..... don`t rule out anything.... not on the 52..

That is quite impresive , K.G.'s on a 52mm lure.
What would the whitting be thinking they where eating. There food source would be small woulden't it.

I too have caught a trumpeter whilst trolling for flatties and it wasn't foul hooked either.

What was a brass band doing in the water?
Has anyone hooked other types of musicians :-)
I hear drummers are popular off NSW rocks.
What is the IGFA record for a Piano Tuna on 10 KG?
