Headed out for a local dive this arvo. Managed a nice boary on the sand amongst boulders after a grid search to keep the cull accreditation. Moved out to the wider weed line and what would you know, a nice king cruises in then off. Not to be deterred, levelled off at 5m then blew some bubbles in its direction, then froze in a pose, arms out. The king responded and moved in, then away slightly as I stretched out and planted a shot, the spear toggling just below the dorsal fin. After about 5 minutes of gingerly playing it, managed to get a hand on the spear at the surface, only to drop the tension, then goodbye the king fled, off to swim another day. All action within the first 15 minutes of the four hour dive, arrived back at the wharf as the golden sun set over the Matakana hills - Snoop
