Mexico Sailfish video
Spent the past 8 days in Isla Mujeres and Cancun
Had a blast Freediving and also Did a really cool tank dive into a offshore spring full of Big Cubera snapper. I passed up several 30 pounders trying to get close to the bigger ones. Followed them down into the spring to 130' but no dice. The freedivers that live down there are amazing at shooting fish. I Didn't shoot much but i sure had the opportunity. Caught 20 sailfish on the Bi-Op-sea. The girls reeled in the majority of them. I spent most of my time in the water taking pics and video. It was really amazing to watch the sails work a bait ball.

Re: Mexico Sailfish video
you lucky bastard! that is my dream to be in the water and watch any kind of billfish tear up bait, whether it be sailfish like this or big marlin attacking dolphin.

Re: Mexico Sailfish video
SO AMAZING. I scuba'd isla mujeres when i went to cancun 3 years ago. We did not see anything big, probably because we were blowing bubbles or dumb luck. I am so jealous, I wish i could have experienced this sort of action. Awesome

Re: Mexico Sailfish video
Wonderful video. Did you notice the tuna mixed in with the sailfish?

Re: Mexico Sailfish video
I caught one on rod and reel. Wouldnt have been much sport to shooting one.
Kirby, I didn't notice any tuna. just sails.
