There's just something cool about a fishing with a speed bag ......

See I was using my 5x8 title bag a a float, and this kingy swallowed it while trying to steal one of my pink maomao I had speared. A few rips to the body and it coughed it back up. Usually only the mako sharks are so brazen to try to steal from me. My boat is only small but there is always a seat for you, the smaller the boat the bigger the fun!

That's a dream boat trip if I ever heard of one!

Must be fairly deep for embolism to occur like that. Some species we have here in NZ have no size limit due to them being unlikely to survive if returned to the sea. Fish like Hapuka and Bass sometimes come off the hook as they start to become positively bouyant on the way up and the angler thinks they've lost it and soon after "boosh' it pops up on the surface with it's intestine bulging out of it's mouth caused by an overly inflated swim bladder after being skull dragged up from the depths a bit too quickly. Looks like a very tasty fish. Nice catch Paranday!
