So why the hell are you not hitting the GTs?

Because they can't eat them . They will poison you . Next time I come I'm going to bring my light gear and have some fun off the rock breakwater . Catch and release fine with me .

I think this is the poison and it affects many species eaten here but not in the tropics because of the poison.

Which includes pretty much any fish that puts up a good fight for its size including Kahawai,prevention is quick chilling so look after your fish always.

Some nice fish landed today . A marlin landed by what looked like a very happy Yong teenage girl . A big Mahi Mahi by some one and a 55 kg wahoo by a spearo. I managed a 10 kg yellow fin.

Go the spearo!! Great to see you amoungst the fish all the same.. When do you get your tank on?
Apparently the rarotongans used to use a toxin from a plant to catch their fish? Drop it over the side and pick up the fish that float to the top. Years of this practice has left residual toxins within the reef.
