I think one of them may have choked my largest snap. I am not a fishermans asshole but I love giving it a go

My wife regularly catches more fish than I do and normally bigger. But she handles all her own gear and bait, likes cleaning fish and does the smoking as well so its win win I rekon.

Mine baits, catches (normally bigger and more than anyone else) etc but won't clean or fillet HOWEVER she does clean the boat, lets me fillet at the kitchen bench, runs the vaccum packer, cleans up all the mess when I am done and most important of all, Gets up and 3:30am to help me hook the boat on even if she ain't going too.

She a better fisherman than both of us me thinks. Certainly fillets a fish better than a starving refugee.

With you on the mutton over lamb sneeze.
Especially chops,well well well done so the fat is crispy :thumbup:

Yip nothing better than a mutton roast cooked all day , real slow then crisps it up at the end,add spuds gravy and bugger all else. Not good for the heart but damn that's kiwi tucker!!!

Now shellfish wise you have to fight me for the first of a new season scallop, rolled in bread crumbs cooked fast in butter with a cold beer to wash em down. Bliss

But the be all to end all, was Veitnamcam and his venison cutlets cut into bite size pieces on a smoking hot BBQ .... Sweet tender mouthfuls of omg yum. With a sprinkle of salt. Hot damn! I will never forget that meal! White bait scallops venny crays mmmmm!!!

You may not be so keen when you see what he does to get them so tender Stingray.
You also just described an average summer BBQ on the coast, just missing a selection of Montieths summer ales, Thar chops, Paua and bluenose steaks

Does she drink speights?

Mine is an ex professional trimmer/grader and doesn't like small boats:thumbup:
So she knows what to do with the catch but doesn't want to come fishing
