    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    They accelerate from 5 knots cruising alongside the boat to Fuck knows how fast in a couple of meters turn side on as they take it and you see the brilliant flash of colour off there flanks in the sun then immediately dive out of sight.
    I could literally do it all day.

    The ones you see caught on a line even the records are nowhere near as big as they get

    Dream Fish

    I have caught 7 bluefin off Hoki the heaviest was 289kg.
    We followed the Hoki boats and trolled beside them when they were hauling.
    I thought the first few times I felt the power of them that we snagged the net they were hauling. They are an amazing and handsome fish. Best sashimi I have ever tried.
    One Hoki boat was from Bhutan and another from Russia.
    Which one were you on Cam 😝

    The only one i have eaten must have swam in the net while shooting and spent half an hour in there drowned and crushed by hoki so not bleed.

    That particular boat that will remain nameless had the worst cook (not chef) i had the miss fortune of sailing with in nz waters. He cooked steaks after the deck hands whipped a loin of it.
    It looked like beef steak and tasted like bad beef steak.

    The meat I got was from the tail when it was hacked off to bleed them.
    They were stuck behind each pectoral fin, tail cut off and a salt water hose forced down the throat and bled them out pretty quick.
    Gutted from the mouth and straight into a slurry.
