Any other ways to prepare it ? , I've got one more chunk to have tonight

You would be doing yourself a diservice if you didnt slice paper thin and eat raw with soy or lime and wasabi

No, just have it weighed by an official of a Sportsfishing club. Bit like hunting comps, they rely on the honesty of the individual.
Multiple people cannot be involved with the catch for "Sportsfishing" records. Id guess all-time records wouldn't care and they would all be full up from commercial catches.

From what i understand if you want to enter it as an igfa fish there are lots of rules to abide by. One of which is the angler must be the only person to play the fish from the time it is hooked till the leader can be traced. You also cant fish from a rod holder etc. look up the rules i may be wrong.

I think you need to be a member of an igfa club too, pretty sure you can just pay for a day membership at yhe weigh station/club though

Lols is there even a branch in Greymouth?
Hand lining a big fish is not a solo sport. Somebody has to manage the line.

Yeah mate i understand that. Just not sure what record your talking about? Is there an official record for a team caught fish? Because if it aint official i doubt yours would be the record

I would say Matt Watson did it alone but i know how that show works

I dont know what record gibo.
I dont pretend to understand the records either.
