Dove Alaska last week, was definitely something different. Cold and challenging diving but amazing surroundings. With @rubbatoe @davidhawth @ronniejc94 @daviddjames @jjsanguily #spearfishing #alaska #cold

These deeper rigs don't seem to hold as much fish at freediving depths as the shallower rigs but they are great for photos. #freediving #underwaterphotography #spearfishing #uwphotography

Went to Mexico for a couple weeks, turned into three weeks. Then straight to Lousiana upon landing in the United States.

Always wanted to try diving La Paz during May and June. It was good. Lots of fish. #spearfishing

Well I guess it was good that I lugged along the underwater camera on this trip. Back in Key West now watching the wind blow and sort wondering why I came back honestly. Hopefully the wind will die and water will clear up soon. #spearfishing #tuna #yellowfintuna #freediving #pescasub

Diving in Florida I have swum with hundreds (thousands?) of Goliath groupers. They are everywhere every wreck and large reef has at least one, often more than that.

So, I got a chance to take one legally and I took one.

Couple days we swam around in green milk, very disappointing.
Trying to dive on spots 80 feet deep when you hit straight brown water on the way down, its terrible. Sometimes you can hear fish thumping around you, but you can’t see them. Some spots it hard to see the end of my gun.

1 day we ran extra far and pulled up on some inshore rocks, and it was top to bottom vis!

We pulled up on this spot in around 80-85 feet, the sounder was in fathoms so quick math was involved.

Sounder shows ball of fish 30 feet + tall, starting maybe 20-30 feet down. I assumed it was jacks or something.

I hit the water and see the fish and it cubera snapper, all cubera snapper all the way down.
So, I dive through the school, passing the 10-15# fish at the top, the deeper I go the bigger the fish get.

Above the murk layer I am passing on 30#+ plus fish and see the “crocodiles” in the murk. Captain calls the biggest snapper crocodiles, seems like a good name for them.

Seeing these profiles with what look like 2-foot-tall tails moving around down there. These are like 60-70# fish. I look at my little orange reef gun with a single wrap on it, this might not work.
I go up and call for the boat, I grab a big gun with a float line and after some maneuverings get back on the spot.

I dive down into the school, they are spread out a bit now because a couple have been shot but they are still pretty thick.

I got down into the murk layer, I am tracking a huge fish but I can’t really tell where his head is so I don’t take the shot. Another goes by but can’t swing the gun fast enough.

I am about out of bottom time and this big silhouette comes out of the murk, I recognize the pec fins right away and know what it is.

I sink the 8.5 shaft into its forehead … Stone shot … Nope it takes off, the double wrap of mono gets caught in the bands, so my gun is going with it. I grabbed the floatline, I can’t even show it down. @inkandboater
