Description:
As I hauled the second set I noticed a lot of the baits hadn't been touched and wondered if the fish had maybe gone off the bite, but then a silver glint deep down in the clear water slowly came into focus. It was a good snapper, this is what I came for, I thought. But wait, what is that?

Deep beneath the boat a long dark shadow was moving ever so slowly?

At first I thought it could be a huge clump of seaweed drifting in the current, it was too deep to see clearly, whatever it was became tangled in my mainline and it all drifted under the boat.

My first sense of foreboding doom began to creep over me when the mainline moved back to it's original position and the nice snapper I was hauling in lay on the surface before me. Most of it was missing - only half of it's head was left - and I didn't even feel it happen!

It was then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the large dark shadow moving slowly back towards me. As the shadow turned to shape I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
