Bermuda Rocky...a.k.a. Black Rockfish.

I wish I could claim this fish but I just got to hold it for the photos.....

Shot taken with a Manny Puig polespear in 30 ft of water, about 20 ft below
an overhanging "boiler'' reef on Bermuda's North Shore.. the fish dragged its captor Odilio Angeli for about 20 ft before he wrestled it in to his arms and
swam it to the surface.........

Wooow all that with a polespear!!!!
only a very SKILLED hunter can do something like that ... to me it would be a suicide attempt!!!

Same to me, and it has to be a perfect shot, i guess...

Way to go Neil, but next time you should use your own catch:ko

I am just pulling your leg man, I guess at this point you should have many
Rock fish under your belt.

 

[neil burnie]

hey ODIWUNSHOT.....Read the text where I gave you the Props for a great fish!!!

Don't be so snarky!!

 

[neil burnie]

OOPS....Didn't see the bit about pulling my leg.....!

Pray for a weather change for tomorrow and we'll go hit an 85 pounder.....

I did man just joking, I know you are a good spear-fisher-mon

 

[Hugh.]

I would love to visit Bermuda some day... It looks amazing.

 

[Mad hoggy]

Great place man, just a little out of reach for many people on the main land

 

[Hugh.]

When is the best time of year to be over there- Vis, weather, and fish wise?

 

[Mad hoggy]

al year around, but March to October is the best time.
