no sharks
nah suprisingly russ the only sharks spotted for the 3 days diving where 2 large wobbies and a baby reefie... was actually thinking of all places we might see a couple of larger whalers or tige up peron.. not that i was complaining of course... steve thats unreal... was deffinently bigger than that - not sure wat the wa record on straight hook is for a bar cheek tho

Found this on bluewater
Found this on bluewater freedivers WA records list:
Plectropomus maculatus Bar-Cheek Trout
8.800kg B.Paxman Bernier Is 31.05.08
Must have gone close, I reckon there would have been a fair few bigger taken over the years that haven't been weighed and submitted.
