Spotted the fish the previous drift. Re positioned up current. Did another drift. Dove down and initially didn't see fish. Spotted fish at about 35m swam down to 41m and placed a good shot in the fish's shoulder. Battled the fish off the bottom and didn't allow him to hole up. Swam up and pulled the fish up from the surface.
