Common names suck!! rofl

I try to always include the scientific name to remove any confusion..

Ive seen people argue for hours over wether a diver had speared a Silver Trumpeter, or a Red Trumpeter... same fish... rofl

if your hunting rigs on tanks, with those larger fish, a floatline can get tangled pretty bad, same as reel line, might make sense to rig up a riding rig, helldiver style, while i personally wouldnt want to use one, for the particular hunting conditions that you get on rigs, i can see why they are used.. basically, end of shooting line is connected to a short piece of rope with a loop through it, and you loop it around your hand, let the fish drag you till your tired... reason i dont like it is because i can imagine a fish pulling you headfirst into a rig leg, doesnt look like it would be fun

best bet with big fish like that is headshots, even if u dont stone em outright, generally you take a lot of the fight out of them.

used to shoot a very simmarl fish in the gulf (up near bahrain). they seemed to be very currious and if I banged a rock on the ground they would come in and investigate. only ever shot them in winter months as the summer meat was very tasteless of bitter. hope that helps

Old thread... but I'm pretty sure that's a Jack Crevalle
