Monster 100 + pound Amberjack Costa Rica Fishing Report

[GringoJohn]

This was really really awesome. We got this doing a SCUBA / Spearfishing dive on my favorite bottom fishing spot. After this trip, I just bought 20 tanks and a ton of spearfishing equipment, after one trip I'm hooked! Check out this monster:

i searfished in Hawaii when i lived there but only inshore, Doing what you do would be way to cool! nice fish by the way.

Yeah, this was my first experience spearfishing offshore. It's weird, you're in 120 feet of water but you only go down about 40 and you wait for them to come by. It's a blast once you get them and they take off. And then when you get tired, you fill up the balloon and let bouyancy take the rest of the fight!

Good god, getting dragged by that fish is already giving me nightmares.

Great catch and looks like you had a heck of a time with that one.
