i have a photo but I can't work out how to up load it in this reply.
I scaled it and gutted it but the stench and amount of intestines was like nothing else I have ever experienced in a fish. I don't think I can bring myself to eat it anyway.
I think it is going to end up chum.
Now what about skippy, kept just two big ones, are they worth eating?

Taste like shite, don't even try it. Dig a hole in the garden and bury it and plant a rose bush on top of it.
