    I post the pics on my Facebook page. Then right click on the image on your Facebook page and click, "copy image address".
    Come to your post here and click the yellow colored box that's under the two curved arrows. Then left click in the box that pops up and "Paste". It works for me but I'm using a Mac also


    I'm sure there's another way but I don't know how to do it. hah.


    Post the recipe for the soup. Or I'll come to Fidos and eat some?

    Some Indian friends I work with here made a soup from the black grouper I shot last week. Reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllly good. I love Indian food. English is not the authors mother tongue but you can get the gist of the recipe here.


    To make curry we need one fresh coconut grated ,
    3 red dry chilli ,
    4 green chilli or how u like spicy u can add that much chillis ,
    then one onion cut into pieces ,
    then 2 table spoon fennel seeds ,
    one table spoon turmeric powder
    .put all ingredient and fry it for 7 to 8 min in medium fire .then grind all these ingredient till its fine.


    To cook curry we need
    1/4 onion pieces
    Curry leaves like 10 .salt to taste
    Oil , tomato one or two and tamarin .
    Method : pour oil in to a pot then put curry leaves then add onions fry for 2 min then put tomato then fry it then pour the curry which u grind it , let the curry boil when it's boiling put tamarin .tamarin it depend upon u how much sour u need .then after 1min add fish then cook it .then check the salt , sour .

    I tried it on and it fits well. Jake said it didn't ride up but under his other wetsuit it chafed a bit on his arm pit. If I use it, I'm wearing it outside my other suit. I like the camo job.
    Jon wore his outside his lycra suit so he had no chafing problem. He loves his.

    Jake and BelizeSpearo Jon tried theirs. Both said they worked real well. I haven't tried mine yet.
    Jake fit the medium, I fit a large and Jon a small. Nice fit. Comfortable.
    Very nice. Got the other stuff too Dan. Thanks.

    Yesterday the Skynyrd song "Call me the Breeze" kicked me into high gear. hah. Then Swamp Music....
    What if I plug in SRV's Rude Mood...shit, I might have a heart attack....
    But I was panting and sweating. I don't get that walking 3 miles. And I was getting a little light headed at the end. Good thing there was no encore.....

    nice one Jake!! :thumbup: your thread is starting to give your dads thread competition <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Ride Hank ride!! hahahaahahahahahahah


    Yeah....pretty soon it will be, "no, not that old guy's thread.....the OTHER one from Belize...." <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    hank--glad u got a bike already. Please remember to peddle at 60 RPM minimum. 90 RPM is even better on your knees. Also, I might suggest a heart rate monitor if you want to get a little more serious about training and working out.
    Good luck and hope this helps.


    P.S.--I can't remember back to when I was 53 years old <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">


    Thanks. I'm finding I pedal to the rhythm of the music I'm listening to . I'm downloading songs onto my iPhone ....my old favorites. This way, I"m stoked to ride the bike....or walk, which I agree is very good but both are very boring. Now I'm stoked to do it because I can rock out. 15 minutes passed by quick yesterday.

    I made a trade with Jon (Belize Spearo) for a stationary bike right after I posted this thread.


    I slowly started building up from a couple minutes a day to ten minutes now. I'll keep going till I'm up to about 40 or so.


    Seems to be working. I usually build up from 50 seconds to about 1 min 20 sec dives. I don't push it really hard when hunting.
    I saw a bit of an increase last week but yesterday was .....my best ever I think. I did 3 dives over 2 minutes. 2 min 13 was my best. Only to 30 feet but I did about 15 other dives over 1 min 45 sec.


    I wasn't pushing it either because we were all split up hunting this cut inside the reef. It was really easy and I think I can do over 2 min 30 sec if I push it a bit.
    It worked too. I was down for 1 min 35 and a pretty good size cubera started approaching. We don't see big fish in this cut normally.....except this one pesky bull shark......and I waited.....and hit him but he tore off. Shit. But yeah, I'm stoked. New life for the old man. Cardio seems to work...for me anyway.

    The apple bananas here have almost a sour twinge to them. Takes a little getting used to.
    We get bananas, 16 per US$ here. They're rejects from the plantations that aren't for export...so I"m told.

    I like squirrel too. Better than wild cotton tail rabbit. My mom used to make it into a stew with potatoes and gravy. Nice.

    That's really nice Gerald.
    I don't personally grow things here but the farm employs a crew that does. We get mangos, banana, lime, oranges, tangerines, star fruit, guava, sour sap, among other assorted exotics. It's great having so much fresh fruits.
    But when you grow your own, you almost have to be set up to sell some, as you're seeing with your bananas. Same with mangos. When they come ripe they're ready to go and you have to get them or they fall off on the ground. (we eat a lot of green ones but that's a drop in the bucket)
    We also have chickens so I get a lot of fresh eggs.
    One nice thing about living in the middle of nowhere.....we don't have the temptations of all that fast food that you guys in America have on EVERY freeway exit. Easy to follow a good diet here.

    That's a healthy young lady on that bike.



    oh, and nice fish. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

    Hank I aint so old and that bloody fish would have me grunting bruddah!! Well done sah!! Any trouble getting it out of hole?


    Thanks George, and thanks everyone. He didn't make it to his hole It would have been hard for him to get in with the shaft stuck in the way it was. He made one hard pull and was done.
