My Chinaman

Thought I better jump on the bandwagon and post my most recent chinaman fish ;) I'm not the best at judging weights but I guess it would be around 5-6kg.

eating chinaman

Great pic Jay...nice when it all comes together.
I remember a few years ago, catching a good sized chinaman at a reef out from Townsville in QLD. This was about the time they removed them from the Cig list. Decided to try it...cautiously, but after filleting the fish...it was obvious something was wrong...the flesh had a distinctive shiny green lustre to it...which apart from not looking too good....convinced me to use it as bait and never keep one again....It would be interesting to know what factors influence the algae and plankton responsible for the toxicity from one side of the country to the other and why some areas relatively close to each other are effected while some aren't. e.g Spanish Mackeral from Hervey Bay in QLD are generally not kept while 100km down the coast, they are fine.....wierd
