100lb Cubera Snapper Spearfishing
The video says it all.
I wasn’t even planning on shooting anything this dive just filming Chuck harassing the Mangrove Snappers.
After he headed for the surface I continued down and got into the Jewfish which were from 350-500lbs, some real monsters.
Right in the middle of two huge Jewfish I saw a square tail and total relaxed this giant Cubera Snapper comes right to me.
Stoked I had the video camera in hand but not so excited that the resolution was set on EMAIL size. Rookie mistake. If you are looking for a reference. The Jewfish are over 6 feet long and 400+ lbs.
Huuuuuuuge Cubera

Awesome video! Did you get him? I’ve shot Cubes in places that would stone 99% of fish in the ocean and it just pissed them off. I shot a big one almost point blank in key west and he bolted deep into the “beams” lost forever. People who think cobia are hard to stone haven’t tried to stone a cubera!
Great vid! I assume you made it back to the surface, ha ha.
That Cubera was looking for trouble it looks like.
Was that screeching sound of your reel or just you screaming
Maybe someday I will get a fish that can make the reel sound like that!
Thanks for sharing the thrill!
