    Has anyone ever caught this fish before or know what it is? I called it a jack at first but maybe not. Some sort of sweetlip maybe.

    MILF! Mother In Law Fish. or Slatey bream or lots of other names, the mother in law bit gives away it's eating qualities but you could do worse than eat one of these.

    Mother in law fish, can safely say i have never heard of that one, are they quite rare. I feel bad now maybe i should have thrown him back . He was caught in runaway bay gold coast on the broadwater at a rock wall.

    We have got a couple in the Brisbane River. I'm pretty sure that's that same fish, looks similar. If so it's deffinately a Morwong/Blubberlip. I have only heard good things about their eating qualities. Though not sure you should have kept it if you didn't know what it was or aware of it's size limits etc. Though I guess you've said you thought it was a Jack .

    Hi all, definately a blackall. Live in Hervey Bay and they are everywhere around the local shallow reefs. If bled immediately and put in an ice slurry the eating quality is doubled. Cooked in bread crumbs and butter, delicious

    Definately only good for the mother-in-law, i'll never kill another one after making the mistake many years ago !!!

    ps according to Grants it is a Brown Sweetlip or Blubberlip Bream, the fish in marty & jojo's post is a Morwong,( Painted Sweetlip, Slate Bream etc or Moke where I come from). Both are commonly called Mother-in-law fish because of their less than top shelf eating qualities although both fight very well on light tackle. In the past I have caught Blubberlips up to about 14 pound in CQ while Barra fishing with live bait and they range from brown through to a deep purple colour.
    I will post the relevant pages from Grants when I can find it !
    Cheers !!!
