Hey Rick
Thanks for this information, we went snapper fishing ended up with the 10yr old reeling in a 69cm elephant fish, may have been a little late bleeding it so has come out pink in fillets. Going to try your idea and freeze them! Was super cool and a pretty amazing looking fish
The 10 yr old is very excited to try for the first time
he also is our only one to have caught 2 last night and he out did his biggest catch by 9cm (previously caught a 60cm yellowtail kingfish when fishing)
