Re: Huge 60kg Taiwan Amberjack
i guess its the angle when the pic was taken, the 2 pics below shows a 52kg and a 64kg Amberjack, and i would gather we can hardly see much differences between them

Re: Huge 60kg Taiwan Amberjack
Yo DFM,

Glad you enjoyed the short vid. The Torsa seems pretty powerful, fight time was 8 min.

Seems to be big Amberjack season in Taiwan now. Some weeks ago a 54kg specimen was landed...have uploaded the picture of this monster in the gallery.

Narc, I read that Ah Wei's 60kg Amberjack landed with a HOTS Wei World 48XXH

Re: Huge 60kg Taiwan Amberjack
Is the jig in the pic with the 60kg Amberjack a Duel?

In short, YES!!!. Between a GT and Amberjack of similar sizes, IMHO I reckon that the GT still has a slight edge in playing dirty and using its body profile to put more pressure on the angler. But in terms of sheer power, they are pretty even.

If there is no structure to bust off on and water under 500ft deep, with the right gear, you can get them in reasonably quickly. In fact we just caught an Amberjack in the 20kg range last Thursday night at a spot that was only 240ft deep, a total suprise catch at night along with a bunch of MJs and 1 ACK.

Will post a short Catch Report after uploading the pics later.

Never caught a really big Amberjack but pound for pound the smaller Amberjacks fight harder than doggies of similar size.

Definitely, the Amberjack is a better fighter, right from the bottom to the top.

yes they really fought with brute force.....

An 8-10kg juvenile would be fun for a PE-4 setup already.....

Re: Huge 60kg Taiwan Amberjack
That angler looks like having a constipation

anyway it's mentioned that PE4 is fun for 8-10 kg juvenile, then what's the recommended setup for a 60kg range?
