I almost forgot you Emilito!....Very nice triple tail!...congrats!

Very nice fish guys! I was surprised to find out that we also have tripletails here in PR! Very nice gag Rolo! I haven't posted lately due to the internet being down for quite some time....yes, I did pay the bill!
. That and I've been with the flu and the weather has been shitty. Anyways, my 10' RIB is almost ready to go so I'll be venturing to the outside reefs soon. Will keep you posted.P.S. Rolo and Gerald, good luck with the babies!...."Rolito el Buzo"!;)

Nice despingation of fish dude!

Rolo,
I miss going out on the "Mata Ronco" as it was once called.;)

I'm not aware of any beach cams around the P.R. coast as of yet but the Island is small enough (100 miles long x 35 wide) so that if your spot is non-diveable, you can sometimes hit 3 other spots within the day.

Coño Emil, I just came accross your post and I feel for you, my friend. I had a beagle named Charlie who passed away after 13 years in our lives. It was very sad indeed and I recall calling Rolo that morning to cancel a dive. I was never as affectionate to Charlie as was my ex-wife, however I must admit I wept the day he passed on. I hope you mourn your loss in peace.

I only use 3" floppers and like Dan, prefer the Hawaiian setup (flopper down). I agree with the bent shaft occurrences but it's a lot easier (for me) to remove the shaft from the fish after subdued. I guess I prefer a single flopper setup as opposed to the detachable slip tip due to the type of fishing I do, where I encounter and mostly pursue pan-sized fish...although as you may have seen, an occasional bruiser will swing by to say "hello".;)

Marco,
You know you're in buddy. I went to the spot today but the water was dirty on both ends of the port. No luck..didn't even get wet.
-
But really, I would love to have a few of you over along with some locals (Marco and Pucho) to raid the reef and I'm sure it would be a classic outing with an impressionable catch. Bed & Breakfast taken care of.

Thanks, you are as gracious as you're a good spearo.
Es que nací con "Gracia"...me llamo Julio Gracia;)

BTW, 13lbs on a Rapala hand held scale (with a rusty spring)

Dan,
This is not a new gun. This is the first gun I built upon settling here and it's already shot 3 PB fish! Its's also the same shaft although I've straightened it out several times but still yields a high percentage shot;).
Thanks for the props on the fish. Hopefully you, Rolo, Pantoja and whoever wants to tag along can experience this outstanding fishery soon. Mi casa es tu casa.

Here's a better one taken at the spot...10 minutes from the house and a short swim from shore....can't beat that!
-
Gave the spot a few days to rest and it yields once again! Sorry about the low-res pic.

Too bad they are not legal to spear in Florida. I'm sure a lot of you have seen similar sized ones around the ero jacks in Dania Beach...I know I have.

BTW, it could have been a world record.
I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the picture.:0
Tremendo guacamayo! Congratulations.

Marco,
Tremenda pesca! Unas piezas muy ejemplares! How long were you guys out there?
