Nice little flounders VC I would be happy with that for a short session. Actually I've caught less with a long session


looks like the Lock Ness monsters' illegitimate love child

Epic dive for a late season freezer filler out white island. So fishy, had full bin after about half an hour and the rest of the time was spent spectating. Some very big (30kg+) kingies around too but safe from us this mission

Correct @Rushy. And spelling is spot on (which is unusual, most people online still manage to butcher a 3 letter word)

Aaand.... An invite would be nice next time @Nick-D

Butchered and lengthened

[QUOTE=Rushy;830481]Are they blue and pink Mao Mao (spelling)?[/QUOTE @Rushy yep, some of the most underrated eating fish in nz. Blue Mao Mao, especially when they get to this sort of size are crazy good. Very high fat content giving them a buttery flavour. The biggest Mao Mao caught was 1.6kg. Everything is huge out there.
@Dorkus have you dived white before? Such an epic spot. Spent the rest of the dive searching for goldies, no luck although it's kinda hard hitting 20m in a screaming current

Nah never dived white, super keen to though. Kinda like the kings in terms of epicness I would imagine... Maybe slightly less epic if you have to go to 20+ for the goldies - I shot one from the surface last time I was at the kings.

Yeah man. Not quite as good as the Kings I don't think but still pretty epic. I used to think pinkies were a rare treat until I dived white haha

Those are some very nice looking blue mao mao. Great eating
I ate a few when I lived on the Barrier for a few months. Did feel a bit stink spearing them as they would follow me around when I was snorkelling, but if I didn't get anything else I would turn around and grab dinner.

Yeah the bigger ones are a bit more clued up, pretty selective, certainly no shortage of them out there. Pinkies are a good fish to hunt, they head deeper when you drop on them so you have to plan your drop properly to push them into the rocks. Even then you often end up down around 15-20m chasing them
