muy buena cubera es mi pescado favorito para pescar el que mas satisfacion me da y para comer tambien buenisimo me gusta hacerlo entero en el bbq pero entero sin escamarlo y queda riquisimo.
Y como haces cuando lo pones en la parrilla? Lo cubres con Papel de aluminio? Me imagino que si no lo cubres puede hacer un buen reguero no?
Rolo, you poetic sub-cagón you! Me meé de la risa con la foto de tu risita! Que singao eres! <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">
Brings back memories of a dive off Miami some years ago when you summoned me as if there was a huge black grouper under a ledge only to show me a fine specimen of bowel movement that you had unleashed onto the great Ocean gods!
Estás de Pinga!
I'm dying to see some pics of your catch Marco. We went out this morning and found unbelievable clear water but we spotted a Coal Freighter being hauled in to harbor. Being that my spot is very close to a shipping lane that did not issue us good news. Sure enough, the Freighter along with two huge tugboats were a stone's throw away and we had under estimated the thrust of those huge propellers! We had to cling to one of the marker buoys so as not to be pushed out to sea!:0
The water turned into mud in no time and we swam back to shore as soon as the current from the tugboats subsided. Anyways, the freighter should be done unloading its cargo by this afternoon and out of the harbor so we'll try it again tomorrow morning.
Marco,
I'll be tied up Sunday but I'll be headed out with a friend to my spot on both Monday and Tuesday. We'll be there from 7:00 a.m. to finish on both days. Expecting some dirty water but plenty of big fish.You have my number. If you can't make it that early let me know and we'll wait up for you. Thanks again for the invite!
Marco,
I have some trigger mechs I need laser cut in the morning but I'm free after 10 a.m. Let me know.
Nice spread. Arroz con gandules? I guess it pays to be far removed from Miramar;).
You know it!
That fillet knife looks interesting too.
Yeah, it's an old Rapala fillet knife my dad had laying around...still very sharp though!;)
Great Snapper Julio! Congrats, let us know how you cooked it up for El Viejo...
Here's the first batch along with chuletas to calm the crowd. I brushed on some melted butter, parsley and crushed garlic. Talk about melting in your mouth!....oh and a few 
of course!
Nice outing and a nice bunch of fish to go with it.
Sergio, I'm glad you're finally in the water again and I like your approach to get back. BTW, I tasted goatfish for the first time some months back and if I see a nice sized one it's going to get a shaft through it (if it gives me a shot). They are very good eating and yield a lot of meat for their size. I remember seeing a lot of them in Florida but I didn't think they were legal to spear.
Gracias Pucho. Tenemeos que reunirnos un día para una buena pesca.
Did you put the camera on timer? Looks like you were a little tired holding that pose <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> What did it end up weighing? Looks like 20-25lb.
Yeah Dan, I had it on timer. I found a piece of wood, stuck it in the ground, propped the camera and ran back to hold it for about 20 seconds or so....yeah I was a bit tired.
Thanks Rolo! Hecha pa' aca coñooooo! Si no te voy a dejar sin pescados!
Here's a shot of the fish just minutes after I shot it. Notice the shooting line through its tail section. Definitely not a pride shot under normal circumstances but a hell of a shot under the given circumstances.;)
I'm waiting on some venison from my brother in Kingsport,Tenn. to see if we can have some "Surf & Turf" for my father's B-Day this Sunday.
Nice story and even nicer fish. I can imagine how it must have felt squezing the trigger into the dark hoping for the best and then feeling the pull of the fish. AWESOME!!
A Pulmon,
Words cannot describe that feeling!!!! I have only done it once before and I swore to myself I would never do it again as I came up empty handed but being that I was diving solo and there was not the danger of shafting a fellow diver, I didn't think twice this time and it paid off heftily!
BTW, It's obvious that someone had taken a shot at him a few days earlier if not a day before judging by the ripping wound just forward of mine. It's also obvious that this was a very elusive fish before I came along.;)
I was expecting a big mutton but not a huge cubera!
Went out of my favorite spot around noon today and found the water to be very silty due to the relentless downpours two weeks ago. Unfortunately there's a river that leads to the ocean just east of my spot with the current usually heading west, hence the turbidity. 8 foot vis at it's best. I had only managed two parrotfish in about an hour's worth of effort when I decided to try my "money spot" before the clouds rained on my parade.
I took a few deep breaths and laid in the bottom some 30ft below and scratched the bottom in the low vis water. Some small schoolmasters appeared and a nice-sized mutton also made a cameo. I held fast due to that sixth sense. I inched forward and probably kicked twice when all of a sudden a huge head with big fangs materialized from the haze. We were both startled at first and the big cubera turned once with a thump of its tail and bolted almost instantly into "nowhere". At that instant I took a shot in the "dark" and my gun was almost ripped out of my hand!:0
I started for the surface kicking hard as the snapper tried just the opposite. I instantly thought the snapper was in the 40lb range judging by its fight but as I reached the surface and used my buoyancy to my advantage, I soon had a clear view of its size. Although impressive, I instantly saw why it fought so hard. I had speared it just forward of its tail fin! A fight ensued as I tried to subdue the fish and after what seemed like an eternity, I had my left hand in its gills and my right hand was braining it with my knife. Anyways, a PB Cubera.;)
Impressive catch for a shore dive. Love those muttons!
I must add though that if a buddy specifies to spot him on a deep dive I will focus on the diver 100 percent.
