dale1396235468 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 When you finally land your prized mulloway and you have a bit of time with the head removed turn it upside down and with a hacksaw cut the last big lump on its backbone near the throat carefully and crack the bone i used 21mm chisel and inside some jelly like @#$% are some jewels incased in a sack similar to a newborn pup remove these and you will have some everlasting proof of your mully.Cheers R-SEA for the tip. ill take a good photo of the ones i got soon and post them for now there is two and one of the sacks on the spool of reel with one of the hooks i used. tight lines dale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Willy 3 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep, not hard to get out... not sure who carries a chisel when surf fishing though... We just use a sharp knife and keep cutting.... Definitely worth the effort! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SuperThahn Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 found it whole? What happened?If you count how many rings they have on them you can tell how old the fish is You may have to cut one in half Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benny 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 nah didnt find it whole somebody caught one and they left the head behind, so I thought may as well cut them jewels out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
