 I shot one in June this year off West End Rotto......although comletely undergunned I lost that fish, along with my shaft and 50m of shooting line.....the power of these fish is something like I have never seen before......to have landed a local wahoo in winter would have given me bragging rights for life! 

The Fish in the video didnt really get out of 2nd gear, it came in on some burley below me and I drilled it from directly above, the shot coming out its stomach cavity.....put the hurt on it with that shot. 

In exmouth a couple months back one came in that was a horse (20-25kgs) within 2metres of me, but at the time I had a rankin cod on my spear......hopefully this season I upgrade to a bigger model  :)
