Hunting and killing in the name of providing food for the table for the family is not a crime.
When spearfishing, I don't shoot it if I can't eat it. I let a beautiful 30 kilo Spanish Mack live to swim another day after I already had one in the esky over winter up north. It was a sitting duck, we just looked at each other and I lowered the gun. We both swam away happy, and I think it knew how lucky it was!
PS. Staunchy, that 18m Kite may have come in handy in the light wind days of course racing of a Wednesday arvie
