Just FYI... I have seen one of approximately that size whilst diving in a well known location close to Inhaca (+/- 15 m deep!!!). And I've heard in good authority they're still around there .... will make a plan to throw some huge poppers soon...

Post by: Prego on September 03, 2014, 12:14:04 PM: They gave a weight of 50.5kg so I have a feeling the fish was kept :-( maybe gut hooked with the popper being so deep :dunno:
