Managed to work it back out over a few days, but required antibiotics etc. Leg and that deep is a step up in ouch though.

The body should encapsulate it I am told.

I hope you've got a few antibiotics VC. Since it's so deep you may not be able to tell it's infected from the top, just a sore leg and might leak stuff into ya blood system. It is pretty small though so hopefully it breaks down and pisses off

Those trevs are really underrated, Fantastic eating raw but most SI locals regard it as bait for some reason.

Kind of the same up here, more so with the older generation. I'm always excited to catch a big trev.

Very nice fish @kukuwai. Yep. Trevs are one of my favorite to catch and eat.

I don't really follow this page as I'm more into fresh water fish.But my son went fishing out the Whanganui on a boat somewhere.Got these messages today......whose the best taxidermist for a 20lb snapper?

Get home from my river fishing to meet at the shed with my official digital scales and weighed his snapper 17.35lb so think it will be eaten.
Still doing some homework on the taxidermists but might be to late.

Rodger Web is who I found...he is down south and takes a cast of it then makes a fiberglass mould and paints it up.
