It's been awhile since the last BIG 5 update, we've been busy launching our new website which we hope you all enjoy. We've run the numbers and there's been some substantial movement in the leaderboard. Aaron Puckeridge has taken over the number one spot, with Trevor Ketchion not far behind. Duncan Limpus also made a charge and has moved up into fourth place. Previous leader Jade Dean is still on the pace in third. There's still a lot of time left to add new captures to your tally. The key to success in BIG 5 isn't necessarily the size of your catch, but showing diversity in the species you hunt. Although size does give you more points, you'd be better off hunting a new species rather than trying to upgrade a previous entry. With colder temperatures approaching, we should start seeing some more cold water species hit our FB page as spearos look to move up the BIG 5 leaderboard. Remember you can also enter species not listed in our category breakdown into the most meritorious category, just like Steven Montgomery did with a beautiful 98.9kg black marlin.
