Re: Deep Grouper and Hog Hunting
Tony,
Nice fish. Were you solo boating too? Why not throw a little helium in the mix? What kind of setup do you dive? If you ever need a buddy I would love to join you. I have the gear and the experience for that depth (but I would use a little helium). How was the vis?

Re: Deep Grouper and Hog Hunting
I soooo look forward to your trips Tony. The photography is awsome. Its interesting that you usually have one of two MONGO fish in most of your pics. You seem to have aquired certain tastes, selective hunting at its finest! Bad arse dive too.

My buddy Chef Quinn (Sea Chef) that many people met at SBO was driving my boat. He knew exactly what to do when the three floats were sucked under. He waited about 1,000 feet to the Northeast until I released the hook from the wreck and the floats popped up. That was a swooshing pull up by the way.

Re: Deep Grouper and Hog Hunting
Great dive and catch, Tony, proud of you. Do I detect a little of "Fishkilla" instinct in you? You know, take the fishes picture, then shoot. Oh, BTW, did you bend any shafts???
Good job, Ray

Re: Deep Grouper and Hog Hunting
Nice report Tony. I don't know that I would get into the techy stuff at this stage of my life, but it is fun to read about it.
