Very impressive fish (much, much more so since it was freediving), and outstanding video. You have a future in video.

Yes, that long shot was the kill shot on the cubera, my hard float line was starting to tighten and it was a now or never shot, I got very "lucky" and hit him in the spine. It was one of GR Tarr's double flopper tri point shafts, all you have to do is pull the trigger and the shaft will find the fish. HAHA

Trailrunner, That is a very nice compliment. I have been very fortunate to have been on two of Perrin James Videos, Best of Baja and Hannibal Bank as well as Robin Berg's TV Show Speargun Hunter, Episodes 7,8,9,and 10 of last season. Those guys are such awesome videographers and I would sit and listen to their concepts and ideas for hours. It was truly an honor to learn from those guys, so the credit is theirs if you liked it.
