Good report guys and some lovely fish there. 

Huge Doggies are a matter of luck anywhere and this area of Tanzania clearly has a lot of them when you read around!  The biggest Dogtooth ever speared was nearby I seem to remember but it was denied as a world record as spearfishing is illegal in Tanzania?

The red grouper which Nick caught is a Tomato Hind I think.

Great stuff guys and well done as usual.
