Biggest gurnard I've ever caught / seen

Your arm looks pretty big, Glenn, sure you're not holding a tiddler up close to the camera? ;)

If you realy think that Julian...try doing the maths. The hook in it's mouth is a Black Magic KL5/0... these hooks are 40mm long

Good work, nice catch!

Took the boat out this evening mostly to air out the mattresses etc and have just finished filleting a few really nice snapper, little bit happy.

Nice one. Caught quite a few this size down Wairarapa ways over xmas.

Nothing off the rods. But the torpedo picked up a few on the long line. Good eating. Hope you smoked the crappy Snapper and not the Gurnard :)

It's okay, I was kidding... I just know what fishermen (because I am one!) are like when it comes to tall tails!

EDIT: Who am I kidding? From one fisherman to another it was just total jealousy because you got out on the water and I didn't!

Jealous. Good to see that smoker of yours is still getting a heap of use.

Badass. Took the long line and torp out last night. Cleaned up while we sat there sinking beers.
