"Stargazers are a delicacy in some cultures (the venom is not poisonous when eaten), and they can be found for sale in some fish markets with the electric organ removed. Because stargazers are ambush predators which camouflage themselves and some can deliver both venom and electric shocks, they have been called "the meanest things in creation"[5] The fish is often locally known as the mother-in-law fish."

So at the end of this film I'm just going off what the Wiki says, dunno if it's accurate but if you're tripping out about this fish have a read and see what you reckon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargazer_(fish)

A 10yo girl caught one a bit smaller next to me last week at Noosa Spit. I unhooked it and it immediately dug into the sand. Stargazers are creepy aye lol

ok so first hand i have stepped on one whilst fishing in my local estuary yes bare foot as you do my foot was swollen and looked like a sweetpotato same color aswell the way to treat the toxin is foot in a bukit of hot water the hottest you can tollerate and puss will come out of it

lordfarquaad - 6 years ago

to this date i now wear shoes every where i have fished the same beach for over 15 years and its only ever happend once

Balanced 3D - 6 years ago

hahaha the mother-in-law fish! so good! Beach session looked epic mate, reminded me of growing up also, rad stuff mate..

LAPYAK - 6 years ago

That particular gazer is pretty harmless. they don't shock and the only poison in them is their stomach acid which is only a problem if you suck at filleting and it gets in the meat. get them all the time targeting Flattys

Robert Curtin - 6 years ago

I've caught tons in Assawoman bay in OCean City MD.
Not poison, slight electric shock no big deal.
My biggest is 8lbs,

What a phenomenal day with your family, whether you realize it or not you've got life by the short and curlys Briggsy. I think it's time to get your oldest son a rod and reel, he seemed really interested in fishing with his dad.
Greetings from Monterey California, a great town to be a fisherman.

Briggsy - 6 years ago

Cheers Mate, yeah we go beach fishing a bit but he doesn't have that first rod/reel yet, kinda just use what ever's laying around. But you're right I gotta him that first setup.

One of the first initiations to becoming a man is to have a venomous fish thrown at you to see if you survive. You did the right thing and your son passed the first trial. LOL

viveCONsol - 6 years ago

Hahaha that description

K T - 6 years ago

I do love the family beach vlogs. I have two very young twin boys and I have to agree with your previous statement to start at the beginning. If you take them out fishing for the kings of the sea straight away they won't appreciate the growing experiences of bait fish and micro fishing. I will start my boys out the way I did with the smaller game in high quantities and work our way up to the trophy species.

Briggsy - 6 years ago

Hahaha

Ryan Fairlie - 6 years ago

I caught one of those stargazers in new jersey in the USA. Didn’t know what it was so I picked it up. Later on I heard about the potential danger that I was in. Got lucky that day

Caught a stargazer last season off the beach - hit an SP Minnow. Mean looking fish...basically a basketball with fins and teeth.

It's how I learnt to fish too bro, evening beach with pipis chasing dart - great to do growing up, and can't wait to do it with my girls - teaching them to love the beach, to love fishing and to look after our coast. Post some more family stuff, my wife loved it :)

Peter Chatman - 6 years ago

Wow, I have caught a couple of these over time at Jumpinpin (Qld) when I was young. I'd heard they were really nice to eat but was not brave enough to try as it looks sorta like a stonefish's cousin. Holy hell they are hard to retrieve from a boat in mid depth water. Ha I didn't know they were commercially sold as Monkfish - I've occasionally seen signs monkfish at Fishmonger's.

venomous, venom is injected and poison is consumed. Then again that fish is still probably poisonous to eat haha

JackVoodoo - 6 years ago

star gazer really good eating Lengths range from 18 up to 90 cm, for the giant stargazer Kathetostoma giganteum. Stargazers are venomous; they have two large venomous spines situated behind their opercles and above their pectoral fins. The species within the genera Astroscopus and Uranoscopus can also cause electric shocks.

Sami El Otmani - 6 years ago

Great video man! I once was these fish in a docu. If I’m not mistaken they use the shock to paralyse fish swimming by so they can strike a split second later. Really mental. Keep m coming Briggsy, really love the content!
