Flattieman Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 hi guys it was a cuttle fish heres a photo of myself holding it. took a live yakka down deep it was a beast. Thanks for the confirmation. AWESOME CATCH! - Did it fight hard? Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) Surely it is a squid? Cuttlefish don't have the 2 long 'grabbers' do they? And their bodies are much more bulbous, not elongated?? Cuttlefish photos http://ilc00f.facbacs.uq.edu.au/VTHRC/ecov...m%20whyalla.htm Cheers Roberta PS That should be a record catch for a Raider, for sure!

djmac Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) nah didnt really fight hard hey. didnt know what we had. felt like a dead weight. we got a big surprise when we could see what it actually was. hi Roberta, was definetly a cuttlefish when we cleaned it we took out a cuttle the length of my arm. i initially thought squid when i first saw it too with the big tentacles. heres another pic cheers, Col Edited March 25, 2007 by djmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ophet Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 my dad breeds finches ect and its known in pet shops as just cuttle bone VERY good source of calcium for birds.. ive already enquired but its long gone hehe... steve Well there you go, I didn't know the birds ate the cuttle fish bone, I thought they just groomed their beak and nails on the bone.. That is a HUGE cuttle !!!! Amazing. Was the cuttle tough to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmac Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 yep sorry guys. mate onboard took the cuttle and the beak because he was going to make something out of it. got nfi what but hey.... the cuttle was a bit chewy to eat. but i found if sliced thinly enough like normal size strips it wasnt too bad. we didnt eat that much but alot was stripped into some great baits!
