She doen't have to watch - she can close her eyes
Welcome aboard, mate and to your wife as well, she should get her own membership and brave the masses
Horny
Live every day as if it's your last - for one day you're sure to be right!
Just tell her the fish isn't a mark on her beauty & she will go red and look away, then you quickly lop it's head off and declare it a Bream or snapper
If men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, politicians must be from uranus ?
Drifta you've got to convince her that they taste better than they look
Just smuggle one home & let her try it before she knows what it is, I'm sure she will change her mind then.
On the other hand, I cant bring myself to keep some fish either, even if they are legal.

Hi onerabbit
Excuse my ignorance but is that fish some sort of parrot. The one I caught apart from being much longer and thicker had more of a peak than teeth and it was mainly a dark turquoise colour with yellow and black markings. I estimate it would have been about 50-60cm long and probably a good few kilos in weight. Unfortunately someone forgot the camera so I don't have any photos. What a time to forget the camera as we also sighted a whale inside the Keppels on our way out to the islands. It was the first time I have ever seen one and what a truly amazing experience. Also thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions guys, much appreciated.

I think it might be best to find a new deckie and leave the MRS at home!!
I dont think we blokes will ever understand how the mind of the female species works. I sure know I dont!
Hi Drifta,
the fish pictured is a Southern Maori Wrasse. They only get a bit over a foot long & are so pretty we can never bring ourselves to kill them, although they are apparently a good feed.
From your description of the teeth , it sounds like you caught a true parrot-fish, dont think It's pretty looks would have stopped me from dropping it in the fish-box.

Drifta, sounds like a true parrot - the scales on these are quite large altholugh have never eaten one. Caoght them up on the Swains in shallow water and they go like the clappers. Catch a stargazer next and your missus will want it thrown back because it looks so ugly but good eating none the less.

One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.
