Gulf Grouper

  • Hey guys, just want to share, my last reward from the ocean a nice Garropa, few days ago, me and my assistant went diving trying to shot some wahoos, but this year the fishing is really weird the wahoos are still so deep, we try put them in the surface but was impossible, after a few hours we get tired and it was time to stop. So we try some reef fishing and this was what I caught, a strong fight but that meat deserves all the sacrifice. cheers and sorry for my wild English hahaha-

  • That's a great eating size, is the Gordo still open to spero's ?...after the fleet leaves of course.
    Nice color on the fish mate, and your English is fine.
    Cheers, Don

  • Hey, Paul yes it is, well sometimes the pangueros make some troubles but at least they let you dive.

  • looks like a mack right at the mouth of the grouper in the last pic.
    nice water and beautiful grouper


    Im not pretty sure, a friend day its a small shark, im not sure if it was a mack or a bait fish a small jack, thanks bro.

  • NIce fish. Did you shoot that on the bottom? You're good. I would most likely have ruined a slip tip trying that.


    Yep it was at the bottom, but out of the reef, that's the reason why my slip tip still works <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

  • Nice Garropa!


    Next time bring some sardines to chum the wahoos. They should come up.


    Marco i try that, but doesn't works, only small mackerel show up, i don't know why, its a weird season.

    Yes that happens every once in a while, I have never had to chum for a fish. A lot of things that work in other blue water don't work here. Some years the hoo are just '' a week before or a week after a visit.


    Cheers, Don

    I was looking over at mine one day, admiring it's Bitchinness sparkling in the suns rays, and a beautiful sail parked on my side showing the light show, but she was one of the few fish I wont pull on.
