The fish is only part of the dream. I saw a short film, about twenty years ago, from a cliff, near the southern tip of the 'Land of the Long White Cloud'. There were whales, fish and birds, thrashing about, as far as the camera could see.
I dream of diving there, on the last day of summer and shooting a 161 kilo Southern Bluefin to go 'one up' on Terry Maas, just once.

P.S. Kiwi's are the friendliest blokes you'll ever met

No kidding, Bill. But you and I know Terry's luck. No sooner would you be cracking the cork when he'd roll up with a beaut. :head

Size doesn't matter guys!
#1 Beluga (Huso Huso) - they weight up to 2 tons so any size is good. And they are already restricted (but not banned completely) by the Bern Convention, so my dream will have to wait... Even if I see one, I won't shoot.
#2 Bluefin tuna
#3 Shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa)
Not too much of a dream, eh?

Re: Beluga
Thanks Murat,
I've seen several belugas. It's a Black Sea fish. The last one was 800 kilos. Like a small submarine
A fellow spearo from the old generation was diving some 10 years ago and he stayed at ambush by two huge logs at some 15 meters of depth with very low viz. After 20 seconds one of the logs surprisingly moved. The smaller one followed. The guy nearly drowned! Belugas. It appeared his ambush spot was by the tail of the big one. He didn't shoot.
Back in the 70s during one of the Silver Amphora Cup there was a Czech competitor who entered the water and during his 2nd dive a beluga passed by without paying any attention to him. He boarded the boat and refused to go back in the water.
A friend of mine shot a very young one this year and he suffered a fair amount of kicks on the arse for this act...
I've never seen any beluga underwater though.
I saw a Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) once, which is not some Russian version of Scott Turgeon but a fish of the Beluga family. It was a juvenile fish and I didn't shoot.

I would have to say:
1. Bluefin Tuna
2. Yellowfin Tuna
3. Wahoo
Honorable Mention: Cobia
Spearing either of the first two would probably be the death of me...but we can all dream!
