[chrishawking]

@fishinskatinchillin Thanks mate. I was pretty happy that was the one that got on when the camera was rolling. The spot is unfortunately on private property kinda near Tatura.

[YingJoeYo]

that was a huge fish!

[chrishawking]

@YingJoeYo Well not a record breaker, but a very good size for a Redfin :)

Good catch Chris.

Ive been catching heaps of reddys around merrigum/kyabram atm all good eating size(30-40cm). I will start taking the video camera and putting them up here.

Are you on a private dam? looks familiar.

[chrishawking]

@KKJKDT How were you catching them? Lure, bait? In the channels?

Yeah on a private dam mate.

Hey chris you wanna know a real easy recipe for cooking reddies in the pan....make up a batch of 4 parts flour to 1 part cajun mix that up roll the fillet in it then cook in oil in the pan!

[chrishawking]

@taipan342 Thanks mate. I any oil will do?

[taipan342]

@chrishawking yeah mate, i just use olive oil

[lennymcleanfan]

great video mate, you got my full respect having caught hundreds of reddies at our local dam but not 1 on a spinnerbait, welldone!!

[chrishawking]

@lennymcleanfan really? I have caught many reddies on spinners. I find it is better for catching the bigger fish. As kids, we'd catch them on hogback spinners. Maybe give that a try in your dam and let me know how it goes.

[chrishawking]

What is the biggest Redfin or English Perch you have caught?

[IceManDude21]

nice one mate.

[lbeesone]

very nice redfin mate., that woulda been grouse in the oven!

[chrishawking]

@lbeesone after filleting, then covering in flour, I cooked in a fry pan with oil.

How do you go about cooking it in the oven?

[lbeesone]

@chrishawking

ohh nar mate, you gotta leave reddys whole...

what i like to do is clean it then put some lemons 2 or 3 depending on the size of the fish in the guts, then some salt, and cracked lemon pepper ontop of it, wrap it in some foil and into the oven,......

i find redfin cooked this way the best eating fish to me. i cant get enough

[chrishawking]

@lbeesone Next one I catch i'll do this way... Thanks for the tip

[sgtgewart1]

and a top feed too. lake burrumbeet back in the 60's ( 1960's) was a lovely sandy bottomed lake and the reddies that came out of that were beautiful eating, 750 gms to a kilo were not uncom mon. sorry lake is stuffed now. combo of draught and pollution. my opinion best freshwater eating fish ever

[chrishawking]

@sgtgewart1 Agreed. I love a good feed of Redfin.
