Man, I've heard some fishing stories in my life but that one ... LOL

Hey mate I am a fisherman, consequently goes without saying would NEVER stoop towards any form of exaggeration & to prove the point may even donate one or two for prizes in the junior section of the upcoming Grunta Hunter comp !

Bazza, why would any one want a snapper or two as a prize in a Gurnard Comp?SleepyLOL

No one mentioned the first very important step ie 

" First catch your snapper "

There is also a method that makes it real easy & much neater plus no mess ie.

Oceans & probably other fish retailers will fillet skin & bone for $3 per fish.

Must confess to using their services on a couple of occasions when it was not practical to do at home.

I understand if you are really lazy they will cook it as well ... ideal for a party or gathering.

 Finally tried the scaler after a trip up the harbour the other day (in manukau reports).
 Scaling some KY to salt up for bait.

Yep was very surprisingly impressed

 Dont know if "turbo" brand..
This is something very similar, maybe re branded
