    That’s parenting done right mate. My daughter was about her age when she tried fresh oysters for the first time. She’s almost 22 now and the first person to grab a rock and smash oysters off the rocks whenever she can. A million thumbs up to you mate

    I still find it funny that in Queensland limit of 1 per person, or Max 2 per boat, but when the same fish migrate south into NSW, they're no longer endangered and the bag limit jumps to 5 per person. 🤔

  • @A.C._Taylor
    @A.C._Taylor 6 місяців тому

    Well in all fairness, fish do lose weight after a night of being stored. I don't think it would be a loss of 1.5Kg in this case. Doesn't matter because that is still a lot of high quality mackerel. Good on you for introducing your daughter to proper food. I can relate as I was raised on a mixed operation farm and also into a family who hunts, fishes, and forages. We produced, hunted, and collected over 95% of what we ate/eat.

      @SammyHitzkeFishing  6 місяців тому +1

    Maybe it’s just by a different name here to down under. We have what we call King Mackerel’s. Our Spanish Mackerels are smaller. Usually 3-5 pounds. Are they different? Or do the Spanish grow towards 50 pounds or more? I’m curious.
