Mon, 2010-08-23 10:07

Great fish, especially for that far south at this time of year. Though they do say resident fish live in perth all year round (just a bit hard to tempt on a lure).

 

Btw, is there some rule that if you spear a fish it must be held vertically? Haha.

(I seriously dont think i've seen any fish, particulary pelagics held any other way by spearos :p)
