Not sure about the great shot there sherbs, looks like he's given BJ some serious grief there. Nice work mate, a great fish, didn't see any that big over here today. Your doing well in the springy, its 18 degrees in the gulf and bloody freezing!

10 rounds
Bit like going 10 rounds with iron mike in his prime.
Not the perfect shot but I've found you never get a second crack at these bigger fish after you've surprised them (or they surprise you).
Had to swim him back to the boat in a headlock. He wasn't happy.
22.5 degree at this spot Adam. Saw a huge chinaman but by the time I realised what he was he had cruised out of range. Be there next time hopefully.

Cracker!
Great Bluey BJ. Did the spear punch through? Not a fish that you would want to get away.

Drilled straight through him Pete, lucky because the barb was the only thing keeping him on the shaft.
