Yee might be right - figured his one before that was only filmed a few weeks ago... but now I can see he is in his old boat which makes it earlier this year.

The fastest way I’ve found on the phone is to open the pic on your phone. Make it full screen. Then screen cap it. And post the screen cap.

Are these a bycatch when fishing for something else?....surely you would'nt be targeting them off Mornington?
P.S. Never caught one...it's on wish list for this summer, any tips greatly appreciated!
