contrary to popular misconception crayfish do not bait hooks KP neither do they debate anything best way to eat is fresh and raw or quick boil till just turned red into cold water and do not taint the taste with any other flavours

Jasus edwardsii, so named for the comment the first guy who caught a big one made to his diving buddy called edward

make the fine commensurate with the overseas market value, lock them up and ban for life also controlled breeding in nz and make them legally available overseas

i would still take it

i wonder how far away from the checker plate in the background it is?

that would make the smaller one illegal

yes KP i would definitely put that in the tank would be a shame to eat it considering they can go to 15kgs that one is only half grown

i think your eel finds you boring

she's at that size already a lot stockier than a normal rock lobster

didn't weigh it but tail is 305mm long, so well legal

it is really busy inside your head isn't it

only works with ghost knife fish Phoenix

a friend from TeKaha turned up 4 days ago with a bucket said he had brought me a feed and pulled out a very large crayfish it had spent 4 hrs on the back of his ute and was still moving slowly i turned it over and found it was a packhorse crayfish said i had just the place to put it walked outside and dropped it in the saltwater pool it sprung back to life and scurried under one of the large rocks and evicted all the spotties missing both of its tentacles, one an old wound and one a new break will be interesting to see how it goes, but so far so good will get a pic up once it has settled down more

happy to report the porcupine fish is swimming and eating well ended up leaving it to dissolve gases in its swim bladder back into its bloodstream learnt something new about differents fishes swim bladders in this experience

maybe Hypnodendron marginatum or Fissidens berteroi, an endangered species, some mosses found in water are just modified growth forms of terrestrial species.

haven't met too many people in this country who eat live fish, must be a student thing the guy killed his dog quickly

not if it is braced properly

the bracing could be attached for shipping in such a way that it would be easy to remove and replace once you got it in place

yes i use feeder fish as well :oops: but wouldn't eat them live myself
