Woah what kind of fish are those?

Bottom looks like Grouper to me.

Top one is a Hog Fish (Hog or Hog Snapper). I fish using a Hawaiian sling spear or pull spear on reefs, not spear guns which are often used for pelagic (open water) spearing. Hogs are typically the primary target for reef spearing in FL and the Caribbean.

Bottom one is a Black Grouper. These can be fun because they are much more intelligent and we often team up and spend the time to chase and hunt these guys down. They are much less common than the snappers.

We also fish for Lions...

Looks like you got that last one with a machine gun

Yeah that was an ugly one. He took a shot and hid in a deep hole. We couldn't leave him there but also didn't have a great eye on him so we were shooting in the dark. A black tip was circling us so we were a bit distracted.

I am shocked (and kind of appalled) that a PCF Fishing pR0n Showcase Thread hasn't started yet.

Yum! Dolphin are so so tasty.

Tuna isn't bad but I am much more a fan of white meat fish.

Damn dude, those fish are huge! I caught a Northern Pike once and thought I was cool. I was wrong.

How much strength is used to get these? I'd imagine the boat holds the rod at a certain point so these are reeled in by hand?

Couldn’t resist a cheesy coaster, could be a cool DB, chip for scale View attachment 850155

Holy shit you bought it? I thought about it for months

This was a new listing, I think there was an older one that was $$, this was like $7 haha

For both of these I was reeling them in by hand on the waist/hip and not using a chair/holder. The sails take a little while to fight and take a bit more finesse. But they aren't terrible and I am certainly not a strong guy. Marlins or swords are an entirely different challenge (neither of which have I caught). The tuna on the other hand is pound for pound the toughest fighter. With that particularly tuna we got on top of a school, caught one and you just leave him hooked up at depth so he can't get away. The rest of the school sticks by him and you just drop line straight down to catch more. Fighting those guys is just pure brute strength and endurance especially when they are straight below the boat. Even for one that small I think we were trading off on some of those fish because we were getting burnt out after the first one we each boated.

Mail Day! Starburst Motherload!

Funky lighting in my office, but these beauts just came in and I was too impatient to wait until later to pop em open.

We also fish for Lions...

Caught with a rare Samurai pen, a gift from Emperor Hirohito? Unbreakable? Impervious to everything but water?

If so, it's value would be beyond estimation.

For Christ sake...

First, you live in Miami, or whatever the hell that gorgeous place is...
Then, you show pictures of your house where you get so many mangos every day that you have to trim the tree back...
Then, you design some of the nicest chips with the best colors I've ever seen...
Now you post fishing pictures with sailfish in them??!!!

So next your going to tell me you have a membership at PGA National, then you are going to tell me you have Steelers season tickets, and then you're going to tell me you cashed at the main event! Is this where this is going next??!!
