Hee Hee Hipp well picked up.
. It is indeed a Southern Tiphead, a very distant relative of the Austrailian Flathead. Yes it does kinda look like a kahawai, in fact it fights just like a Kahawai, tastes just like a kahawai . In fact when you catch one, you would swear its a kahawai. But no its a Southern Tiphead from now on.Cheers Trev aka Hardy
hahaha (pommy slayer) i like it. We was going to pop in to say hi on the way home birdlings flat but we didnt leave till 1.30am so dont think u would of been to happy with a visit then
. I am going to taylers mistake tomrrow after work so will let you no how i get on.honey and soy mixed together rubbed into the kahawai fillets pre smoking makes the red bits lovely to eat…
kill your fish first you bloody sadists!kill it by iki method or thump on the head or whatever..then cut along from the anus to past the bottom of the gill plate..reach in and with one foul swoop pull the gills and gut out..then fillet as soon as poss..everybody has a different way..
..I hope this forum promotes common sense fishing along with humane killing of fish..sorry I dont abide this bullshit cutting off of tails while the fish is still alive..the sooner the fish is killed the less stress the flesh goes through..stress the fish and you loose taste..any good chef will tell you thatI agree Birdlings. This bleeding thing is to me pure crap. Passed down from generation to generation without thought. If you catch a Southern Tiphead, off with his head while he is still kicking. Out with his guts. And he will bleed out. And he or she is dead dead dead. Same with all fish. This bleeding Kahawai is an old wives tale. And yep no matter what you do. That red strip will always be there. And tastey it is to. Esp if smoked. Same goes for rig, whatever, off with their head I say and the job is done. Guts out and put in the chilly bin. Course you have ice dont you. Would you want your main artery cut, or tail cut off, doubt it. Mind you Ian had a mean Machete for a prize in the Comp. I think rolled up shorts won that one. Damm if I have had got that beauty, I would roam Birdlings flat and deal with all your catches. And Fisherman24 aka Duwayne, now how do you spell that 24. Well you would get a a hair cut.
and your rigs would be beheaded before you know it. Now I know where to find you. Spot X is out. I can just imagine the headlines, wine crazed Single Malted West Coaster goes berserk at Birdlings Flat. Oh darn. I am in the poo again.
Good God I am missing the place but not Ians potions. I like my cordial. Check out his Agate Pile, I snaffled a few, thanks Ian. Well only five, but they were handpicked.Hope you got the smoker cabinet panel beated. And no he didn’t run over it on his quad. That is yet to come.
Cheers Trev aka Hardy
