Dan---I know it is hard to believe but I actually have several pictures that I will post soon.:)
I looked up the cubera snapper in several of my fish ID books and they look exactly like todays cubera snapper.
He was so big that I used both bands, the shot entered his right upper back and the spear tip punched out of his left eye by only2 inches. there was about 12in of spear in his body and head. He was aproximately 12-15f from my spear tip when I fired. As soon as the shaft hit him I sprinted for him and grabbed him an held him in tight till I got to the surface. We thrashed around on the surface till I could get my knife out. After the knife he was a lot calmer:D I gut my fish immediatly before I take them off the spear. So I brained the fish, gutted him and went to run the stringer through his gill when he reflexed and munched down on my left thumb :@
My Mako gloves kept his canine teeth from doing a lot of damage to my thumb and I was able to get my thumb out of the glove and use both hands to pry his mouth open enough to get my glove back :rolleyes1:
I'll post his picture as soon as I get time, promise

LOMartin--the Mask cam did not work out for me and Austins took it back with no questions as I am not the only dissatisfied LiquidImage customer. I loved the ease, function and design of the mask cam, but the picture quality was way below what I wanted. I followed greekdivers suggestion and bought a Panasonic FX37 and UW case and Tin Man camera gun mount which I will start using in the water soon. I promise:rolleyes1:

solo today
Viz restricted where I could hunt today. I had wanted to go deeper but couldn't see.
I almost didn't go out cause the weather was marginal, but once I got out through the surf I was kind of commited so I stayed out till 5pm :rolleyes1:
Now coming BACK on the 5f surf was exciting. But I lost no gear and my yak is ok and Ill just be sore for a couple of days once I get the sand out of my ears and nose :@
Today was NOT a level 101 yak freedivingspearfishing day with 5f seas
Found "The Fish Barrel" today. It is a spot in the reef where all the fish come to and all you have to do is wait till they come in and then shoot them like "fish in a barrel" :attack2: :fish:
I got 3 hogs, 1 mac, 1 sheephead and half a bag of dogs, margates an porgies.

I'll try to post some "sink of death" fish pictures next time the weather gets to bad to spear.

spearos---the wind and surf is way up here on the beach. At 10pm the wind kicked up to 28mph and right now at 1am the wind hit 30mph straight out of the East :@
Beach surf is 5f+
Even if the wind stopped right now you still couldn't see your hand in the water for 3/4 mile off shore. Last time the wind was like this Dania Pier had beach erosion damage

Thanks Alan

I almost didn't go out cause the weather was marginal and "SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT"
Sea is flat at the shore and gets rougher the further you go out with this West wind so I stayed within 1/2 mi of shore and therefore had no viz
Today is NOT the day to loose your paddle with this much West wind. :@
Glad my "scupper gives u wings":D
I did get one fish AND lots of beach buns siteings :thumbsup2:

I"m hoping the RIB team did better today
