CAme back from Hawaii with my new gun. Daryl made me a hybrid GR 55 with a reel and showed me some techniques he uses to sneak up on spooky fish. The lessons I learned from him were worth the price of the gun. Great guy and nice gun too.
Anyway, we got back and went back to our cubera spot. Same big school there in spawning mode. WE filled the cooler pretty fast. Strong current and had to get down to about 50-60 feet to get at them.
The big one was hiding in a different spot. I coaxed him out of his hole with a chopped up cero mackerel. Then waited about 15 minutes and dove down on top of his hole from behind. Snuck up, peaked over the edge and there he was, looking out into the channel. I had a hell of a time with the single barb shaft. He was trying like hell to get back into his hole...but a 60 inch shaft doesn't fit well into a 3 foot wide hole. Lucky for me.
