I only kept the lads one and filleted it the next day.....it was excellent not mushy at all.
We treated them well but as discussed they quite often go mushy and shit immediately after spawn.
Perhaps lots of food(krill/squat lobster) around is the answer.....or are water temps in the bay down this summer so far?

Inner bay fishing this year was definitely late.....like a month to 6 weeks later than early years.
