Eat your hat
Eat your hat leemo but save the wirrah fillets for me. There fine to eat, like a little blackass. Just check I think the size is 200mm on them but check that

One of the worst fish I have
One of the worst fish I have ever had the mispleasure of filleting!
Loaded with bones and spines and not worth it in my book.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Good eating
They are good eating, just buggers to fillet with a tough slippery skin. Lovely white flesh.
