@@volkert7775 You get a few Bronze Whalers but they don't bother you really unless like Ollie you've just speared a fish then they can get a bit feisty. Seen an Orca in that bay chasing a ray but they're harmless to people. We're lucky here in NZ that shark attacks are extremely rare.

Bloody legendary mate. Superb production .. how you going to keep topping those big fish though (like you seem to do every time). How about doing a catch and cook for smoked eel. I've been doing some lately, had some big ones, they're beautiful if they're bled, hung, salted and marinated for a couple days prior to smoking (I didn't even have to get wet lol). Excellent as always anyway mate. Have fun.

Great video, that's one hell of a snapper too. Quick question - after you shot the first fish and you were waiting for the burley to bring in fish and you're above the water talking to the camera with no mask on, how come you aren't worried about sharks coming in for a look? I'd always be conscious of anything coming in! Thanks!
