Great photos there Nepptune, what sort of critter is that?Looks like some sort of spotted puka.

Also those Jigstar Africa field tester shirts are very cool, I bet you could sell a few truckloads of those.
Get off my lawn....

Thought you guys might enjoy this from the otherside of the pond...
 
My buddy Noweeds using my gear, Berkley Air 9ft and my Stella 6000 with PE 4 ( ok, not exactly light SB gear, but considering the grounds we were fishing, its about right ) in 26 metres of water over some nasty coral ledges...
 
2 OZ Nitro with a 7" Gulp Anchovy Jerkshad...
 
Good 10 minute tussel this and pushed the gear to the max keeping this critter out his hole...
The Battle...
 
 
And the Glory...
TO RIDE, SHOOT STRAIGHT AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.

Monk fish or star gazer, massive!
As a chef I can tell you they are great eating, very firm textured fish. One classic dish is to wrap the fillet in proscutto & roast until just cooked through. Yum!
