Australian Pargo & Mutton Snapper
Hey Guys!
Its been an unreal experience in the land down under, giant fish, giant sharks and giant crocs, what a trip. I moved away from Cairns down to Brisbane and got the chance to dive with Trevor Ketchion from Submerged Psychos, absolute weapon of a diver. We made a plan and drove 9 hours straight to the grounds.. the first part of the day was rough, lots of current, deep drops and no fish. I think I had a little Green Jobfish in the boat at that point. Later in the day we were dropping 70'-100' on these little rubble piles. Trevor ended up finding a rock on the sounder that looked promising, But in ripping current we knew it might be difficult. I jumped off the boat first and dropped immediately as i had been breathing up while we reset the drift. I made it to about 70' when i looked up and saw 3 distinct fish.. Large Mouth Nannagai close to American Mutton snapper, but usually you find these fish in 120'+ so i was stoked. Thank god i had the OB 145 because no way i would a gotten close enough with any other gun that i had. Anyway somehow got it past the sharks and got it on the boat.. done! i was boatie and getting everything organized but at the same time Trevor Dropped and shop a beast of a Mangrove jack like 9kg or something. I never seen one that big so i just called it the Australian pargo all day hahaha. Trevors Jack My NannaGai

Re: Australian Pargo & Mutton Snapper
How does your GoPro hold up without a housing at 70', they are only rated for 33ft?
