Wanted to give the underwater camera a try so I decided to shoot some video and pictures instead of the gun (broken wishbone anyway). Brought the pole spear just because and while looking through the shallows I happened upon this big girl. Could not resist trying out the polespear for what would be my largest cabazone to date (as well as the first real fish I have ever taken with a polespear). Went over 24" and 7lbs gut and gilled. Had a large ab in her stomach along with a few small crabs, so I'm sure she would have crested 9lbs.
Brought the girlfriend along and she is just getting used to the ocean and the very cold water we have in Northern California.
What a beautiful weekend on the coast.
The fish was delicious.
