On the first drift of the day, I shoot the fish. When I swim around the dynamic drop off from 10m to 40m very steeply, I saw a huge schools of bait fish around 5-15m depth. I dove down into it and found a big Black Jack below the school. I stayed at and waited for him to come closer in a shooting range. He came and I charged my slings and made a shot on it. On the surface I found that the fish was much bigger than I've thought.
