Daniel Finch ensured we got the whole treatment on the day he took us out fishing. Other activities included feeding sharks. here we see one of three that we fed tuna to over a period of about a half hour. It's difficult to get a good shot which shows the size but this shark is about 3 metres long.
The next stop was in the mouth of the Jardine river where we stopped for lunch. There were two small crocs up on the beach as we motored in, but they were both too small and shy to get a good photograph.
In the mouth of the river there is a resident groper. Daniel has been feeding him fairly regularly and he comes over and sits under the boat and waits for a feed. Susan prepares to feed him with the frame of one of our tuna.
Again it is difficult to get a good photo. This shot gives you some idea of the size of this fish. I estimate he's about 120 to 140 kilos. That is huge by any standard. Susan did a great job of fighting him for the tuna, holding him near the surface as he rolled trying to get the frame of the tuna free.
So Daniel had set his goals of making sure Susan caught a good sized fish, shark feeding, croc spotting and feeding the groper. We had a wonderful day and headed for Seisia about 2:30. The old slow boat took about two hours to get home but we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Dan had a relaxing day as well.
