Never seen one of these before.....roughly 5ft and 13kg. 
Seems they're prodominately from up north. It fights hard, nothing like the normal shovely you get. Called it for a bronzie until it was beat.
No mullas though....

Pretty good damo. Softest

Pretty good damo.
Softest shark flesh I've had similar texture to any demersal, but still a tad sharky tho. I'd rank the taste just under gummy. 

Hated filleting it tho, only managed about 5kg of fillets from it. 


1 from the Shore is worth 10 from the Boat...
