Bobby and Santosh,

If the jewfish is a Gol, then it can reach very large sizes.I have personally
Caught one that is 21 kgs.....it is very good eating and a keenly sought after fish here.

The reason I am asking about this fish is because someone said that these
Jewfish/mulloway/gol are found where the Hoogly becomes estuarine.

Been trying to verify this since a long time...can someone in Kolkata
Shed more light on this matter?

Kingfish

This is what most Goans ive fished with and caught call it ......."dodhyade " has a fine line of teeth in its mouth and grow to a maximum size like what Mervyn has in his hand ...very tasty and caught mainly in the monssons in goa

i do have more photos of the same fish which i clicked as soon as i landed it but they are in some old half broken mobile , will try to post tomarrow and this pictures are more clearer,,my partner told me they grow to 20 kgs or so ,but what i am saying has to be verified,

Nice fish Merwyn.....Nice to see you getting your fishing partner zapped...He would never talk anything about lures thats for sure...

Merwyn,

Hard to tell from the photos if it is a jewfish.

I may at some stage post a picture of the one I caught and perhaps that will help everyone identify the fish more accurately.

Thanks.
