@@DerPaintballingDoofus I would think it would spaz out and buck wildly and likely pull the wire out in the process if you could get it in in the first place from partially cutting the tail to expose the spine.
Thank you, let me know if your footpocket was adjusted on top? in my case I need adjusting on the top because I'm feeling tight only on the top of them.
@@zorpzablelegaginlabbl thank you for the specific definition of what I am doing in the video (destroying the spinal nerve canal) and I did not show the Ikejime (knife to brain) I had already done in the water. 🙏🏼
@@FishingforMemories I would fan out the tail as nicely as you’d like it to look after severing it and freeze it solid first. Then you can prepare a box big enough for the tail and fill with regular inexpensive salt. Put tail in it and cover completely and close with lid. Keep it this way for four or 5 days to set the tail. Then transfer to a cup of salt standing upright to allow the rest of the drying process to happen ideally in a cabinet outdoors to deal with odors. Could take 1-3 months depending on your local weather/humidity. Good luck and let me know how it goes! 🤙🏼
I coulda used this video a few years ago. Now I’m going to go to the processors for a matching #150 BFT tail to mount. I have a #30 tail that I left outside, the bugs picked it clean. No smell.
Gonna try this now! Also with your camera mount on your mask, did you add it on yourself? Have been meaning to add something like that to mine so I can take it on and off a lot easier!
@@EthanYeo1 I got the camera mount from my local Spearfishing shop, SpearAmerica and they mounted it for me! You can use my coupon code “SpearwithX10” to get 10% off your online order with them if you like. 🤙🏼
@@Dragndroprecords the fish uses them as ear bones for balance and navigation. Spearfishermen/fisherman collect them as a souvenir. Some make jewelry out of them. 🤙🏼

So yes for science it is useful, but for us recreational people, it has become a custom to collect them from WSB in particular. All fish have them and their sizes are generally in proportion to the fish. Some make jewelry out of them and other just collect them (me). One day I might make some cool art or something. I hope that helps explain it.
So I dried mine for about 4.5 weeks. Just took out today and it looks great. It does have a fish jerky type smell. Will the smell go away or remain sealed in once sprayed or should I continue drying it?
Fantastic! I'm curious about how much it weighed before the bleeding. Probably impossible to know. My AI bot says 5-7% of bodyweight is blood, but it is hard to know how complete the bleeding process is.
