i take it that it was a thin lipped mullet. it was a thick lipped, mouth was different and the gills weren't as far apart as a thick lipped mullet and wasnt a golden grey as didnt have any golden specks on the gills. wasnt big around about 2Ibs.
barin in mind this time last year i had never hooked a mullet.

thick lipped have a narrower space between gill covers than thin lipped and golden grey.thins and goldens have a pointier head.i`ve had plenty of thick lipped with "golden" spots on gill covers,these spots will appear just about everywhere on the fish
the photo below is of the gill spacing of a thick lipped,the spacing on thin lipped and goldens would be atleast twice that

it may have been a a thick lipped. but i thought its lips were a bit thin for one but i can never tell the difference but i'm nearly sure the goby was a giant goby.
