Mackerel hit very hard, very good on the line. The cobia arent bad either, they have a tendency to run off again when you are just about to stick the gaff in

Had a massive cobia on a snapper rod last year near Keppel Island and the bugger ran off and broke 2 of the rod eyelets and snapped the line!

Over in Vanuatu its amazing what they call "small" fish, that mack would be an average fish. Pretty much every sport fish you can imagine are there in good quantities
