We Caught A Fish With Jewels In Its Head

With all the chaos going on it the world currently it was good to spend a weekend away up the coast fishing. Met up with a mate and i was certainly out fished and still no Mackeral that I'm after.
We caught a prized catch among land based fishers and explain how they got the name "Jew Fish" and the strange stones they grow inside their head.

I just learned something new. Never knew how Jewfish got their name. Cheers mate.

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

Great Session !!! Finally a Surf Mullie !!! Thanks for sharing how to get those "jewels" out !!!

[@Andrewdoesbass]

Horrocks to Kalbarri is really something. Magic bit of coast

[@nonstopfillets]

Never tried to get the jewels out of a mully but will if I ever land another forsure thanks for the knowledge bro

[@collieyak971]

Long drives and fishing trips with mates are always awesome 👍

[@jackvoodoo2900]

now I want a mulloway tail portion .....love collecting the jewels

[@andreasmitrou]

Briggsy brought me here!

[@rabbitskinner]

Awesome Mulloway..

[@100bgeagle]

All fish have otoliths. I have collected them for 40 years and have a big selection of white sea bass and red snapper which the one end is finely serrated.

[@WAFisha]

Yeah boys sick mully!

[@bradcolley2391]

that mulloway was sick, BUT keep that skin on and age it for a while and it will crisp up awesome in the pan!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

gr8 catches off the beach. kinda understand why the mulloway is also called the jewfish now haha

[@punishthewicked5845]

Aren’t they the equilibrium stones that keep them swimming right side up? I think they should make a nice pair of earrings.Larger cod have them

[@DixonsFishing]

yeah inner ear bones for balance, interested to see what other fish have them as stones not a bone like most other fish ive seen.

[@_Murky_]

Very cool, didn't know that about the name

[@markdereus4709]

Killa vid, got my first big mulloway at that amberjack spot

[@DixonsFishing]

Awesome stuff. Was dead the days we fished it that’s for sure.

[@flickwithmick]

How good was the mully! Well done boys yeww

[@lidlnutz]

cool man. We have freshwater Sheepshead here in northern U.S. with similar "Jewels" in their heads

[@adrianzucker8757]

Great vid just subed you

[@songoz1610]

Kalbarri is a great place for mulloways cought 3 of them in 2 nights and they are getting biiiig :D

[@georgefisher1719]

Great job fellas wot a top spot anyway what pound leader were you using by the way on the big girl ?

[@DixonsFishing]

was 80lb leader

[@gradybrowning3976]

I have about a half of a gallon container full of them. Been in the seafood business for 20 years and get them out of a few different species of fish here in the States.

[@DixonsFishing]

interested to know what other species of fish have them

[@AlohaMilton]

@@DixonsFishing White Sea Bass have them, seen some big ones from that species here in California.

[@elviseocapescadornapedra.7295]

Ja lasquei o meu joinha garantindo parabéns

[@mustafaaskari5269]

Hi mate I just saw you are carrying a red rod in almost all your videos. Would be happy if let me know what is that. Cuz I'm really looking for a good Surf rod. Thanks

[@grantchang81976]

I think the jewel bones they also used for Sensing direction and up up and down The loins on that Malloy mully huge massive loin meat

[@VuTubeShorts]

It’s probably a dumb idea - famous last words

[@bryce6267]

love the beach videos but can you show us your rigs next time? thanks mate

[@DixonsFishing]

Will do! Hopefully a few more how to videos coming once we clear the massive amount of footage we have sitting here

[@victoriamostert99]

In south Africa that species is called Kob or Daga Salmon and they reach size's of 80 kilo's +,nice little one you got there

[@DixonsFishing]

i wish ours got that big! anything over 30kg here is very uncommon and the biggest we have in Aus is under 50kg.

[@Michael-jx6yq]

Lol literally ever6 fish on the planet and pretty much al living animals have these. They are called otoliths and are used to maintain balance and sense gravitational pull etc :)

It would be nice if you put subtitles in Spanish. Thank you

[@kingfisher2291]

@@duvansd9561 then everyone would want subtitles for every language lol

[@craighill6164]

Im guessing red bluff or whitacarra

[@max_lindley]

since you boys are from that way or in a nearby town have any of you fished prawn rock channel in denmark or have heard about people getting fish in the channel?? have you heard of any reports coming out of it as im heading down there in a few weeks.

[@DixonsFishing]

haven't fished it ourselves but snapper can be caught there at times especially when the river is close to breaking through to the ocean or has broken through.

[@max_lindley]

@@DixonsFishing thanks so much, who knows maybe ill bump into one of ya

[@brandon97ify1]

I’ve got the JewFish curse!!

[@craigandoliviamuir2370]

Nice to be part of that capture aye Chris. Weight & Length?

[@DixonsFishing]

I missed my chance at one but was lucky enough to be a part of this capture at least. was about 13kg and 115cm long

[@anarchistangler]

Those otoliths weren't so beautiful cause the fish was still small, but they are an awesome memento when you catch a big one. When I was a boy really impressive jewels could be found in abundance along the high tide line, and in places where sea shells collect. Haven't even seen one just lying around for decades. The species has been stuffed on the east coast by overfishing, and especially commercial fishing and habitat destruction in the northern rivers.

Where you guys from ?

[@DixonsFishing]

we are based in Western Australia

[@rivertooceanadventurertoa3347]

[@enterthedragon5979]

Is this Kalbarri w.a

[@DixonsFishing]

Yes it is

[@abdazizsulaiman7930]

Kepala ikan itu pun sedap kalau di buat sup.

[@openheart6113]

What is it with these people that catch and release. These weak fish just feed sharks just eat what you catch and stop feeding fish to sharks.
