James and I headed up to DEAN Point on Tuesday at around 10AM it was International women day and a public holiday in Sierra Leone we started diving at around 11 AM water was nice and visibility for Sierra Leone was quite good , I went down at 15 meters I could see most types of fish we usually see Baracudas ,Jacks,Rainbow runners, while I was at about 17 meters I saw 2 massive Longfin Jack Crevalle coming towards me ,as soon as I had a good shot I took it and it was in the gills which held strongly and after a 10 minutes of fighting the fish was dragged and put in the boat, I knew it was around 20Kg as it was much bigger than my previous record.
