I went out with Neil Burnie David PacPhee and James Adams to Argus Tower in search of Wahoo. While diving I saw a large fish at around 35 feet. I descended on the fish cocking my spear as I sank. When I got close I discovered that it was a Barracuda. It gave me a toothy Display and I shot it in its center of mass. My break away did not disengage so I fought the fish to the surface. I killed the fish with my dive knife and handed the fish off ot David on the boat. The fish was later weighed and certified at Fisheries.
