I made a rack for veggies at my shop. Stainless steel and that can hold down whole cuccini at once. I have smaller versions too that hold one or two slices for smaller fish.

That baby in 6th pic is L254 Spectracanthicus sp.

Great looking fish, another nice one we don't get down here, not exactly a fast grower!!

That rack looks awesome, far nicer than an old fork with a piece of nylon tied to it...

Great picture Tommi. I think I noticed a L14 in one of the pictures. How many L14s do you have and how big is it / are they?
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?
A) Because dead fish never take the bait! ;)

I have L273 and L65 and both are very slow growing. I just got a week ago new LDA73 but that is about 9cm already. I bough my first L142 seven years ago it have grown 6-27cm in that time. I have three of those now and they are all around 25cm.

I have one L14 and that is over 20cm. You can see more that fish in those tubevideos.
