Spearfishing small fish and a curious shark

I shot this small fish (Matsudai in Japanese), and this 4 foot shark got curious. I'm not sure what type of shark it is. There was two that hung out the whole time. As time progressed, and we shot more fish, they started to get more brave and interested in our fish. I had to jab them with my gun a couple times to discourage them for getting our fish.

good shot! by the way tripletail are illegal as hell to spearfishing......dont get caught spearo!!

I had no idea what the name of this fish was, but I don't believe that this fish is illegal to shoot here in Japan. No one said anything at the market; however, they did say that it was not a good fish to eat. In 17 years of diving in Japan, this was the first one of this type of fish that I have ever seen.

Not to mention that one is small as hell. Probably THE best tasting fish in the ocean, no shit. Firm, white, awesome.
