It was a cloudy day of lovely October,on the way to fishing I was dreaming of a massive dentex...When I went on the first spot and started diving I didn't see any big dentexes,but started the day with one beautiful grouper around 4 kgs and turned back to the boat to start thinking about a spot which I have seen big fishes before in autumn, I went to the spot and the same thing happened, dived around 11 meters, after 20 seconds 3 or 4 dentexes was coming towards me but they didnt enter shooting distance,while they were going back another big fish was coming to me when the fish came close enough I realised it was a big leerfish,tried to stay calm waited for the fish come closer and I made a perfect shot...It was around 5 minutes battle with a monster fish,when I got the fish in my hands I couldnt believe it was that big..!
