    I'm unsure mate. To be honest I really don't like them so it left with a christmas piercing. No way it was coming in boat

    It certainly looks like a long fin VC.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Looks to me like a conger. Caught a few surfcasting.. The odd freshwater ones have caught in sea dont quite look like that but have been a little smaller

    @Sparrow that last photo is absolute gold well done mate

    Here is a few photos from the top of the south for you fellas from the last day or two...



    As many kahawai as you like, made oka smoked a couple and let heaps go, great fun for all



    That little green rod sure got a work out to land this one and the youngest family member needed a bit of help but boy was he a happy chappy

    And before I post the following pictures a couple of things are worth mentioning.....

    1.) We are full there are no room for any auckland refugees

    2.) @Sarvo the green bottle is especially for you. (We loved that latest post in the dinner thread, dad was historical reading it )





    Goodnight all, hope you all have had an excellent few days

    Ha ha ha ha I may have gained a bit of positive buoyancy myself in the last week.

    we all checkd the wind no one checked the swell map ...we arrived to very average vis and limited options as a good sea was running outside the sheltered areas...
    Guess having some local knowledge and dive fit off siders saw us succeed in area that sees regular pressure..both amature and comercial especially today as others joined us in the shetered bays and reefs at one time we had 6 other freedivers working a not overly large bit of reef ...ended up a great day. Would have seen over 100+ small crays today the keepers were hard work but we got our share.
