79.98lb cubera snapper at 120' freediving (pics/vid)
First thread of my life so I apologize if I screw this up. Been free diving for 35 years and didn't start taking pics till the last 7 years so I am a little technology challenged. I just stored them in my mind but my daughters say that is going quickly so I should start recording some of it. Went 110 miles offshore out of Bradenton in 200 feet of water last weekend, free dove some 65 foot pinnacles. Got lucky and stoned an 80lb cubera snapper at 120'. Was able to get it on video, it is my second attempt ever at making a film so please don't expect too much. Please don't drink the HATERADE if you comment!!!

Awesome fish. I'm going to have to make a sticker of a freediver holding a man-sized Cubera, and I'll be sure to get one to you.
