What a guess lol
That's good to hear the numbers are on the rise, the old mans got a saw from one of the sharks when he worked on a prawn traweller, the bill come up in the net, the poor shark got tangled and snapped it off, such a shame!

sawfish are more related to a ray, yeh they get themselves good and tangled in nets.

in the fitzroy river, even better when you get paid for it haha

Are the cherabin tasty?

with garlic butter or cream and parsley sauce, mouthwatering. the massive ones are a bit mushy, but the medium ones are up there with king prawns

what is it we are going for? fish biology research, mostly on the fresh water sawfish. swagging it in the bush 200km from the nearest tap has to have some perks haha

[MONSTAF1SH]

Got excited and missed a word.
