It was shadowed by two other fish in the wave line and then they left when the surfer tied a rope around its tale. It didn't put up any fight as they pulled it in. I felt quite sorry for it really but it was interesting the way it kept so close to the surfer. I'll upload some of the other photos I took as I think I have one of the three fish in the wave line.

Just tied it on? The photo is interesting but the tale that goes with it is amazing.

Sounds a tale to me too but I was there and it really happened. >So you don't need a big game boat, just a surf board and a smile :-) >http://gallery.leica-users.org/Jeffs-fishy-pics >Jeff le Kiwi
