    Chris, my first mother in law (bloody old battle axe she was) bottled Kahawai and I would defy anyone to pick the difference between that and bottled Salmon in a blind test. Was fucking marvellous.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I remember grandma use to pickle trout Rushy ,had a good supply out Whaitawheta .Preserving food was the norm in those days,fridges weren't what we know now days.Shadow likes those small Kahawai (as raw fish) , not thrown back any more the #1 dog has to eat.

    Fantastic, any way you would eat snapper. I like smoked or cut into nibbles and battered

    Smoked (and pickled) its brilliant eating. Plain its rubbish, at least in my opinion.

    We get ours smoked locally by Aquafresh, not cheap but better than a butcher smoking it with his bacon and hams!!
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Ahh the sweet tasting cheek meat from a hot out of the smoker kingi - beautiful

    And a couple of old pics for the Kawhai munchers. Hot out of the smoker on fresh bread and a beer or in a smoked fish pie is how I like them

    I love my two powerlights they are awesome and like you they are giving good distance and do not regret buying them.
