Hey guys

Went fishing one night out at the gold coast with my brother - We caught a friggen weird fish ahah, dont know what it is.

Was casting out just south of the bridge that heads into the city at the coast.

We only caught one of these weird ass fish -

It was a silvery/grey colour with light goldish shadings in areas. It was in the dark and it sort of looked like the top of its body was greenish.

It was about 40-45cm and weigh maybe 2kg

It had no scales and it was not a catfish... It's skin felt... like normal skin :S

It was slimy as hell

The head was fairly large - It was really ugly.

It made noises when we had it out of the water

I can't think of anything else to describe it - I have put a photo below of the shape I remember it by... Dont trust me drawing haha.

I believe you caught a tailor my friend. Good catch :D good fighting fish, was it jumping out of the water and trashing about like crazy when you were realing it in? These fisha re great fighting fish, i assume you were either using a heavy mono trace or wire trace as these bite straight through standard line 90% of the time.

Haha ladies ladies..

Actaully my brother said "It's a baby whale" to his girlfriend as a joke and she was "OHHH REALLY.. Thats why its head is so big?"

LOL!

RE: Tailor

Nah mate it wasn't a tailor - This fish had no scales. Tailor usually have quite big scales hehe...

Anyways... After googling for quite some time I came across a nine-msn news page.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=450287

I'm 99% sure that was the thing... It's ashame I didn't take a photo becuase I'm going by what I saw at about 11pm at night with hardly any light haha.

One thing that is strange though.. as it's a 'puffer fish'... But this fish we can't stayed the same size in and out of the water. It was also quite larger than this one in the picture.

Side note: Check out what the toxin's in this fish do to you!!!

"The fish contains a poison known as tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin which paralyses a person's muscles and for which there is no antidote."

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
