Mate that would of hurt,
I caught 1 earlier this year and the barb is bloody thick and bluntish.
And it brings back the memories of the eagle ray barb I coped in January this year 'crikey' that hurt.

(Barwon River Estuary land based) Notice barb removed, bled straight away. Thought I would try eating 1, cooked same day not too bad. Bit like stronger tasting gummy.But now I have tried 1 will release them from now on.
