Some huge monsters out there!!!

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...

Only problem is stopping them! A +30 kg GT on 15 m of water full of bricks down there.... you need some serious guns!

 (clap) Awesome catch! If I ever caught a fish like that they would have to hold it for me because I think my arms would be like spaghetti after the fight.  :hehe:

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:
