Rodolfo, its well known around the world, that tarpon are to be protected, they are worth more alive than dead, there should not be a comercial take on them, many many people live and feed their families on tarpon.

And do you really think that is fair to the recreational fishermen (us) to go out and only be able to take 30 pounds of mahi per boat?
I was there on the meetings of the advisory cometee when the desicion was taken that only 10 fish per day in the boat, 10 in the boat for everyone to share,was going to be allowed, this desicion was taken not because a lack on the mahi mahi population, they are extremely plentiful, but we did not wanted to hamper the ability of the comercial fishermen to sell their fish.

This are the dates for the new fishing laws public hearings,
I have been fighting so spearfishing is not banned in Puerto Rico
like it almost happened in 2004, the fact that some of the best divers
dont respect the laws or endangered species does not help, some of
the marine biologist, the ones who really make the law, are really pissed
at spearfishing.
Some comercial fishermen were asking that recreationals were only allowed to
30 pounds of mahi in the boat, and also trying to harvest tarpons to be taken as a
comercial fish to sell.

Dan
I need you to verify the king fish record ( Mackeral) , it looks like Marco fish is a Scomberomorus cavalla and the other fish is a scomberomorus commerson, so we have two diferent species if that is the case, so two separate record fish in diferent places of the world.

Yes, we are killing them, but, such a beautiful creature, sometimes is hard to do.
i went out without a gun, lost a friend due to SWB, i was not ready to hold a gun yet.

I also had one for many years on an acuarium, a hurricane lesft us without electriity
and it died.

This is my new lion fishrecord, 12 in one day.

Just like you guys I knew
what was going to happen.

The hook is stainless, and they were using
cable for leader, it is a big hook so they were
looking for bigger sharks, a glove would not make
much of a diference, pliers would, am glad this was not a tiger shark.:nono:

I dont knowthis guys, i just had to go back to the video, and pump
up the volume, the scream does not sound too macho to me.
I think he thought he had lost a few fingers,as soon as he
could see hos fingers again, the incredible funny scream stopped. <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 could just not keep this to myself, am sure someone else needed midday smile.;)

Roberto,

You are the class of our sport, but you should be embarassed about that trigger. That thing is a beast!

Thanks Guys, i really apreciate it.

Gris, it was good to see you again in Fla.

That triger , I never send it for record, nor the cero, maybe someday.
That mahi of yours, the more i see it, the more i dream about it.

roberto should be disqualified from holding forum records simple because it doesnt give any of us a chance <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

just kidding Roberto, NICE fish brother...where are the pelagics? I recall reports of sails and marlin..no?

Dude, all of a sudden I saw how many pics I have posted and got a litle embarrased ( not kidding) , I have a few more pics, but I think I overdid, hope you excuse my lack of humility,it was not meant. But is not that am a good spearo, am just old and got twice the time as you guys to get the fish.
I know of many guys here with much awesome fish than mine,and have not posted yet.

The biggest hogs i ever saw were in North Carolina, but the tournament I was in, did not allowed bottom reef fish, our hogs are really small compared to those, still a 15 pound hog is a huge hog for me.

Atlantic oceanic triggerfish 16 pounds

School Master snapper 6 pounds

Atlanti great barracuda
Its not a record, but I stopped
shooting the big ones long time ago
so this is my record 48 pounds.

Hog fish 14 pounds

Pacific tigre 4 pounds
