The Big Fishermen
From the Gisborne Underwater Club captain, John Williams, come these pictures of some of the highlights of the club's very successful season. Many club and New Zealand records were set during the past year of underwater fishing.
Pip Barker holds the club record for a kingfish. This monster of 65 lbs was speared at Lottin Point.
John Mazengarb with New Zealand record trevally of 15 lbs, also speared at Lottin Point.
