yeah i agree, i woudnt shoot another groper this big, there is loads of them on the south coast. I got this one at a pretty isolated spot and saw another one in the same dive. will have to try up my game and get some dhus haha
I kept the first Marlin we caught. Preserved the bill, photos, bill and lure in display case. Fed most of Yardi Creek caravean park that night too. Have let the next dozen go (some let them selves go too).

Big Blue
Well done lad!!!
Seems to still be a good population of the Big-Boys down that way.
This is in no way a critisism!!!!
Keep in mind as a fellow spearo we all love to get that top fish but those Blues were nearly wiped out on the east coast by our peers.
A fish that size will often be over 30YRS old and deserves our respect.
By all means guys out there, get that trophy fish and revel in it, but lets make sure our kids get to do what jameson has!!!
Again mate, awesome effort and maybe the next one gets shot with a camera????
Remember, in Bunbury;
LBS=KGS and never actually weigh your fish.
Just guess away!!!!

Nice fish, having a good summer there.

Thanks for sharing.
