How do GTs fight? Do they go for long or just go nuts for a short amount of time? Reason I ask is I've got footage of one we speared in the Cooks, it fights like a crazy thing for about 2 minutes, then just stops dead in the water.

Funny that .....having a spear through you.
 
Catching them on proper gearWink gives you a battle of epic proportions.
A hook in the mouth as opposed to a shaft through the head or vital organs does make a difference.
 
The wide shape of them and the way they hang in the current - they make you work!
 
They are incredibly strong fish - real street thugs of their environment.
Only thing I'd pick that would go better would be a Doggie.
 
Have caught both to good sizes so can vouch.
 
Awesome video BTW Kev.

I kinda meant do they suddenly burn out like say, blue marlin do, or do they go the distance and fight all the way to the end?
I'm just polishing off my video now so when it's done I'll put the link up. Theres also some footage of a thirty kilo one right up in the whitewater, may or may not be of interest?
