Jumb'ooooooooo
Submitted by Mick C on Sun, 2014-12-07 16:30
Went out early to check the pots now that there was bait in them! After using all of the fish we caught at Walpole (minus the flathead fillets of course), plus some tuna heads, expectations were fairly high given we got some yesterday, even though the pots hadn’t been baited for a couple of weeks.
Ahh yes, lots of crays and quite a few non berried females. Even got our first jumbo of the season, and he was an absolute horse. Had to check it was a male as it was clearly greater than 105mm carapace length – good thing I read FishWrecked so knew about the “fine print” rule.
He’s Christmas dinner.

Almost too big for the pot
I'll tell you what, it took a lot of extracting (it was angry). Note the leg damage.

Last Season
Got one last season and it was good. Took a long time to cook though.
