We tryed spearing him as best we could but came back up so we swam it for a bit and got the release weight ready. then it got its second wind and swam off under its own steam pretty strongly. Fingers crossed that it will be fine. We stopped jigging after that. Didnt want to see another one struggling to get down as its a sad sight.
Measured 172cm long a new pb gees i looked f$#*ed in the photo.I thought i foul hooked on through the tail the way it was carrying on and just wouldnt stop the whole way to the top.
