Kirst1583 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Can anyone tell me what this fish is please? Sorry, I know it's probably something really common... but I haven't been fishing long and don't believe I've caught one of these before. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 commonly known as "choppa" they destroy your lures too And your fingers too. Have seen a bloke cry when bitten by one only about 35cm long. The tailor would not let go and sunk it's teeth into his finger up to it's gums while wiggling like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kirst1583 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks for the replies didn't even notice the teeth! I'll be sure to remember if I catch another 1 tho. Pretty sure this was just a baby.. But might catch a bigger one some day. Speaking of which though.. Is there a resource that tells u where each fish has spikes etc? I know bout flatties and bream but not sure about much else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
