Using shrimp by catch while drifting. Had Bonita & Blackfin feeding, so I swam down and waited for my shot. I loaded the Neritic Blue Bantam polespear, and let it fly. After I connected with this big Blackfin, I got to the surface and started fighting from he float/floatline until I subdued the fish and brought it on the boat.
