Sorry bout the phone.

Sorry about your phone. I dropped my "nokia brick" in the toilet bowel once, it's 8 years old still going strong.

Is that why your voice hears "weird" when I call you? :rolleyes1:

Out today from 12-500
Conditions were OK topside, a little choppy and windy but OK.
I paddled out to the backside of the second and I could sort of make out the bottom so I jumped in, luckily it was the right spot in about 50 feet. I wanted to go out further cause i had a good lunch but the viz was poor. and not getting better with depth
Found & shot 2 mangroves, a porgy that looks like a dentex and a hog.
I also soaked my phone
Hope some others got out

If you see a Porgy out there with half of his jaw ripped off, that's the bastard that ripped himself off my spear a few days back. I also shot another one and as soon as I did, half of his body around the shaft turned all black almost instantly. Was kind of strange how they do that. Not sure if it was a camo thing or I shot his heart and he was bleeding out internally.

I think that it is an involuntary reaction due to nerve damage. I have seen it happen with rockfish, ling, and halibut here in Cali. They don't always turn black, sometimes they turn white, or a mixture of their colors. Every time it has happened because of a spine shot. Some times, all of the body changes color.

That seems like a logical explanation. Look at the hogfish in this pic. He turned white near the dorsal fin where I hit him and also below that. But hogs do their little camo change of colors if they're trying to hide also.

Very Good fishing, this is the black groupper ?.

Jose, if you're referring to my post, yes, the third fish from the left is a black grouper.

(sorry for the slight derail Steve...:)

Too me those white spots look like areas that haven't been iced, or kept on a warmer surface. I like the pic very much regardless

Looks like it was taken on the same day as your cuda encounter.

Ups!
I apologize sdeisen .... But, here I have a pics of bleached aguadera for shot, later recovered its original color.

PD:Please do not laugh from my face, I was very tired, had left my fins in the car and arrived at the fishing site purchase (yellow nemdor) the only thing I had, I had a very bad to dive.

por favor, no se rian de mi cara, estaba muy cansado, habia dejado mi aletas en el carro y cuando llegamos al sitio de pesca compre (nemdor amarillas) lo unico que había, la pasé muy mal para sumergirme.
