My PB is a fish longer than me. I'm 6'2". Quite lean, not a pot bellied greenie, big flat head. Fed 18 people with some left for breakfast. Me & a good mate would have Tuesdays off together & went diving. It became Seafood Tuesday. We would rock back to our little batch on Tokerau beach with a bin full of sea food, fire up the barbie & cleaning bench, some sounds and all our mates would rock up with coldies as the sun dropped. Great times. Full on woo hoo's!

Did the hen and chicks yesterday. No big predators except for me and a chilled out stingray that kept coming up to say hello.
Came away with 4 butterfish and a dozen scallops for a feed and a couple of baitfish to chop up for the cats and dog. Missed a big snapper from the worlds easiest shot, after that there were just pannies hanging around my berley piles
sort of got know where to go. we fished the mussle farm and got 27 in under 2 hours.there was 4 of us,, so we didn't go over the limit... I also dive a bit.... well snorkel now.... never had had any trouble with stingrays really
I found them quite jentile.. just wouldn't jump on top of 1 of them
And that is the honest truth your honour..
Boarfish! Love spearing them even more than kingis.
Cras ingens iterabimus aequor.
Never was any good on snorkel - even when I was young. We used to do the Poor Knights quite frequently in the '70's with the Dive Centre crew - there were a couple of chippies into spearing - we'd drop them of the side of the boat as we went in, then pick them up 3-4 hrs later.......had a couple of good feeds of Kingfish steaks off those guys.....watched them once sit behind a rock at the top of a drop-off, about 55-60 deep, waiting for a Kingi to come towards them - they were there for feckin near 2 mins - must have had lung capacity the size of a Zeppelin - none of us could do it......
One thing I miss is diving up north....
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
Love spearfishing...but haven't jumped in the water in about 2 years. Time is such a bitch these days. Too many hobbies, too little time.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
...yum...

I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
Karikari peninsula? Great effort, snapper like that are bastards to shoot, look like kelpies, too. And the water looks like gin. Most excellent.
I really need to get off my arse, get some softer blades and get back in the water.

Yeah man, those bigger ones were taken from somewhere around KariKari. Excellent diving up there for the middle of winter, already making plans to head back up in late summer next year. Seen a couple of units come through that made those look small. Snapper in shallow around Auckland now, been picking up quite a few around the 2 - 4kg mark in less than 3m of water in the last couple of weeks.
That shark was a good one. Sent both dive partners swimming off back to the boat. I never saw it, but that area is renouned for poor visibility and shark numbers. Need more of that crazy shit back in my life, summer couldn't come soon enough.
