Big fish, but kind of an ugly guy

Can’t remember if I’ve asked you, but do you ever eat the deer there? They’re good around here since they eat a lot of corn, but up north not so much…

Yes Nick, a lot of that is in a fair few freezers.
Because they are feral here they can be shot 365 days a year (and spotlighted at night on private property) and still there numbers are exploding (we have a number of species of feral deer) there's so many, that most hunters only bother taking the backstraps.

We saw literally hundreds on distant hills. Cleaned up a lot of feral wild boar, feral goats, foxes and rabbits....but didn't put a dent in their numbers.

That Murray Cod would most likely be around 40 years old, did you see the feral European Carp up on the bank? (They are all left dead and NEVER put back alive) the old Cod would be living high of the hog inhaling them for meals! He was caught on a large live Yabby.
