Was any of the action caught on film? It would be great to sit down and watch the fight. I'm sure his ass was well puckered.

Well done - We were watching them going into the water behind the trawlers.  As the trawlers lifted their nets we'd start chunking and chucking baits in while the spearo's swam around.  With the number and size of the mako's let alone the Bluefin down there those guys have bigger cahuna's than me!
