I usually get from Times or Safeway. I'll be back there in May and will try Tamuras. Thanks
I like the spicy one too. I probably have dangerously high mercury levels after every trip to Hawaii. <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">
Raw is good. I ate 5 lbs of poke in the last three weeks with two trips to Hawaii. This may have been posted before but what's a good recipe for Shoyu (soy) poke? I'll use fricken tilapia. That stuff is so good.
And Marco, hows the diving in Panama? Have you been in the Pacific yet?
Can't open the link Makoa,
But I've read and heard that most stores that sell exotic aquarium fish, require that the fish are bred in hatcheries to prevent what you're seeing from happening.
It was rampant in the Philippines. Guys were collecting them on "Huka" or air brake compressors sending air down to divers who had no computers or any idea about decompression sickness. Many died and there are many lame ones limping around the villages.
I heard that about one in twenty fish captured actually make it to someone's home aquarium. It really should be stopped.
And hogfish. Nice flaky white meat. They're just so dumb.Do you think if you eat too many it'll make you dumb too?
Doc and DuQuesnay eat trunk fish here. They have an exoskeleton and nice, boneless meat inside. I never shoot them. They look so .....cute. haha.
Parrot fish. Man, the Midnight one here is really good. I haven't had one for a few years because they're protected now. They're hard to get close to so it would seem they would still be plentiful.
Personally, I like small mutton, mangrove or dog snapper. Like, 1 lb small. Gut and scale and fry.
Chubs....yeah, I never shoot them here. Gray meat. But Mokoa said they're the best for poke. I have to try it here. I know they eat them in Hawaii.
SICK SICK footage! Fish seemed friendly and not super skidish. Loved the shaft penetrating footage. What depths was your West Indian going for those doggies?
It was painful to see that big ulua (GT) and no shot taken!
Those big Ulua are popular in Hawaii but here in Belize, I don't shoot them. (we have the Horse eye jack...similar) If I don't eat it, and it's not my favorite, I can't give it away. Don't know about Trinidad but I would guess the tastes are similar? George?
You're killin' the mutts. Nice.
That first dog tooth he put on the boat....that looked like a Philippine banka style boat. ??
So a West African spearing in the Eastern Caribbean? wait..... <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">...thanks for posting. Nice video.
Jon, I think that only works south of the equator. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Sign me up.
Nice fish. I've had a snapper flop right out of my boat like that grouper.
Remember that I'm pretty much using feminine bands so I don't need that extra grunt at the end to hook the shark fin.
If I'm not too lazy to reach all the way out, I can hip load my 55 Wongs with my girl bands. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Display MoreWhen I fly out of Lauderdale I'm fascinated at the reef lines, weed lines and clear Gulf Stream water that is so close to shore.
Big big MAHALOS to all the contributors of these awesome threads lately. Its like we've been out on a dive trip together...
Aloha!
Makoa
…note to self…..when flying out of tropical destinations with surrounding reefs, be sure pilot is not a spearo looking down at the reef….instead of where the plane is going…… <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">
Same to you Makoa. The people here make this a great site.
This actually raises an interesting question. Wonder which grip the majority of you all use - and why. I have mostly been a hip loader most of my like employing the pals up grip. Even when I try the chest loading methodology, I still utilize the palms up grip and have been curious for some time on what grip others use - and why. Perhaps this should have its own thread!
I chest load my guns palms up. I could always curl more weight palms up than palms down. I do that exercise on my bow flex just for that. (I've had that thing for 13 years now….shit)
That's not me. I'm prettier. <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">
I knew it wasn't you. No dead fish. <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">
Yes, I like the softer feel and not the jolt when I shoot. I have never used even three 14 mms on a 55.
