We had been diving all morning and had shot a few small fish, on the way back to the boat I saw a nice Jobfish so I cut one of the small fish up for chum. The Jobby started feeding. It took a couple of dives to get close enough to get a shot at him. The shot was a bit low so it went through it’s guts. It took off so I played him softly and after another couple of runs I got him up and grabbed his tail, I ikied it and passed it upto the boat.
